i have 2 different sets of wheels and i can t make my mind up on them,

[greenformula92]

to make matters worse on the wheels they are both make the car look absolutely amazing.

I was over there yesterday and we got alot done in a small amount of time, we only got to spend about 3 hours on the car so today once I head back over we can get the car on the ground and then I WILL take the pics since someone hasn't sent them to me yet haha

It has a adjustable panhard rod that hasnt been adjusted yet. It needs to go about a 1/2 inch - 1 inch to the drivers side

Nice. I recognize Ted's house of f-bodies lol

[ted gerlach]

thanks guys, its been a long time comming
had most of the parts and the wheels long before i found the car
traded parts i did not need for some parts i wanted as well
as far as the wheels go need a magic # in order to sell them,

just ordered, stainless rear axle brake lines, cross drilled and slotted rotors, and brake pads, stainless braided brake hoses,

thinking about custom dyno don headers with 3 inch y-pipe, but not going to use the borla cat back i have going to do something different
