I was having a drink to celebrate his sons birth. Then another for the LS engine. Then another for TR6060 transmissions. Then I started celebrating whatever else I could think of.

Good progress on all fronts.

Mine still has them but the little bolt that holds the block and c clips has a broken head. I guess it's common??

Red Rocket is a good name, but I refer to mine (4th gen) as The Red Dragon.

They are lighter and balanced. Sonofa hahaha....

Oh well. The red rocket it is!!

I guess it's a common issue. I forgot my driveshaft when I did the swap. lol Who the hell knows where it is at this point.

Red Rocket is a great name or Red Dragon. But you would have to go to shows with it dressed like that clip. lol

Red Rocket and the Red Dragon - great names, and Old School is one of the funniest movies in the last 20 years!

Car is looking and sounding better. Those TPI's can be frustrating. Love that car though.

Nice ram-air TA! I've always been a fan of those and debated getting one, but ended up in a C5 Z06 after selling my 95 Z28 last year to make room for the z06. 4th gens will always be a favorite of mine.

I love that red bird. I might be in the minority but I like the wheels that are on it. lol

Nice paint work, and as I get older, I appreciate the original equipment wheels, etc more than others like TLS.

Come to think of it, I had a set of 4 of those in gold at my parents house with the center caps. I wonder if they are still in my parents garage. lol

The LS 1 car looks great!

I think the wheels I had (might still have) were 15x7 or 15x8 and I think said either Pontiac or Trans Am in them. Sort of indented. They were Gold and similar to yours but didn't have the little rivet looking holes around the outer rim. I have to go look for a stock set on the net. C'mon Google Kung Fu!

This is them.
One was primer gray. Not sure why but it was primed for some reason but I'm sure I had the center caps, too. Hopefully my mom didn't throw the out or give them away.

That car is looking great! Nice job taking your time and fixing things the right way. That car should be around for many many years after you're done with it.

Nice choice on the UMI TA - with the relocation, I assume you are going to the tunnel brace location?

Agreed on car looking fantastic - need to tint mine and this is great motivation.
