Great looking wheels! Good choice for the car.
|
What are you running suspension wise? The Ride Tech guys got 315/30/18s on 10.5s at all 4 corners in an unflared car running their new suspension set up. That being said, its definitely not cheap!
|
They look absolutely fantastic Neil!

I was able to take a quick lap around the neighborhood today. I've been trying to knock some small stuff off the list before the car goes to the chassis shop next week.

Nailed it!
|
Nice!
|
Safe to say those tires pick up a little amount of gravel. Looks great
|
Be prepared to have a few extra diffs lying around or make the investment on 30 spline upgrade!
Car looks great.. http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...psnq4zflzd.jpg |

WOW simply sweet ride!

I took the car over to Tom Argue's shop today. Tom is going to do some misc. fabrication, paint the roll cage, and cut/buff the paint. I also found a suitable hard top for the car and it fit right up.

It's been a slow month on the build. I ran into scheduling issues with the chassis fab shop. I ended up having to use a different shop in order to keep the project moving. The car is now scheduled to go to Pro Fab Performance next week for the cage work. The car will then go back to Tom Argue for paint work and a few misc. items. I did receive my gauges from SpeedHut. I went with their Legacy Series. I was also able to mock up the center cluster with gauges and switch panel but it still needs to be painted.

Those are sharp looking!

Good job, Neil. Love the direction the car is headed.
|
Chassis work is finally underway. I was able to get the car over to Pro Fab Performance in Port Richey this week. They fitted the main hoop and we finalized the seat position yesterday.

Looks awesome! I love the wheels and gauges.
|
Love the widebody Corvettes. Rendering is great! Any significance to the number 87? You mentioned L88 a few times, might be a good number too.

The cage is coming together nicely. I'm planning to bring the car back to Tom Argue tomorrow for misc. items and paint.

Pro Fab Performance completed the cage today and I am very pleased with the result. The car is now back at Tom Argue's to paint the cage and hard top, cut/buff, etc.

I got some more inspiration last weekend at the Amelia Island Concours. They had a C3 rolling chassis which really highlighted the roll cage chassis pickup points.

Cool build. Are you just going for road race inspired or will you compete with the car?

Lookin' good!

The C3 has to be the most underrated car out there for the type project you're doing. Love your project.

Cut and buff with 1,500 and then 3,000.
