Default House projects are great...

And they take make waiting a breeze!

It'd been about 10 weeks ago that I decided to start the remodel on the house (New roof, rewired, repiped, garage floor, etc. etc. etc.)

Well... it was about 9 weeks ago that I finally ordered a set of new shoes for MVD as well... (GorillaVet? brought Forgeline Rims to my attention, so I have to say, THANKS!... ya bastage!)

Man! The projects on the house kept me so frickin' busy, I got the call that they were in before I knew it... (The house is just about finished as well). I can't say enough about my vendor (If you have Q's, about the vendor, please PM me)...

So, here they are.... FL S03P's, 19x11 & 18x9.5, wrapped in 315/19/25 & 265/18/35, PS2's... HOLY SHAT! What a difference tires make from EMT's

I feel so fortunate to have the friends here who gave me some great advice and shared their wheel purchase experiences, which made this painless and all the more enjoyable... THANK YOU: E & Blacksedan87.... you both rock! I hope everyone enjoys these shots...

Dave

Holy CRAP, Dave!

Your car was already the best looking C5 Ive ever seen. And now it looks even better! The shoes make a big dif!

I told Julie that "Dave did some cool new mods to his Vette" and she said "Is he the one with the flashy backside?" I told her I never looked. HAHAHA!

My new mods as of Wednesday are probably gonna be a new water pump and some hoses...whatever the stealership decides they can get away with to solve my "Low Coolant" DIC message. GRRR!

Miss hangin with you and the MISFITS! Working two jobs now.~~~~Patrick

Dave, those wheels are awesome. You are definately going to have to share some of your secrets for keeping your paint looking so immaculate too. BTW, I'd love to see some more pics of the garage.
