Default All done, thanks everyone.

Thanks to everyone for the comments, glad I had the time to get it done-really productive 48hrs. For those that are interested, here is an article of the original set up on the car as I got it: http://www.corvettefever.com/feature...olet_corvette/

Here is a few shots of the finished car now with the new wheels:

I bought a used C6Z06 brake kit and then had them powder coated.

I bought them from another member of the forum and then sent them to Mike the Powder Coater. Reasonable price for the work and really quick turn around.

Thank you very much. They are sharp looking-Mike The Powder Coater did a very good job. You may not see it too well on those pics but there is a blue accent line on the wheels which have a nice look with the brakes.

There's only a few that are currently steel braided hoses- most of them are still the rubber one. I think if you are refering to the fuel regulator stuff-those are from summit racing. The guys that out in the LS3 did all of the AN fitting and hose work.
