The Z06 wheels look great on there.

Thanks - I ordered my last z06 wheel today - got a decent deal on it.

Need to get that here and wheels installed before Charlotte's Food Lion Autofair in 2 weeks...

I got this wheel - brand new for stupid cheap. It is polished - so its going to go to my body man sometime this week for paint. I ordered this Monday afternoon, and it was at my house when I came home from work. Not bad for 2 days shipping from South Florida! I also ordered Q44 painted center caps from GM on Monday - since finding used competition grey center caps are near impossible. Plus they where only $9.50 each!

So hopefully this will all be done painted and swapped before the Food Lion Autofair at Charlotte Motor Speedway in 2 weekends.

Those will look killer on the Vette!:thumbsup:
Post up pics when you get them mounted.

Got the front wheel mounted, still need to get that last wheel to my paint guy on Monday. I'm digging the new wheel direction.

Not much of an update - partstaxi finally shipped my center caps, so those should be here in a few days, and I dropped my wheel off to my paint guy. He should get it painted tomorrow, and I plan on taking my current wheel over there Wed night so that he can move over the TPMS sensor and the tire to the newly painted front wheel.

My 90 pound box from Sears finally showed up today - 4 days after it was going to get here! I ordered this cabinet almost 10 days ago! So I spent a few hours assembling my last Gladiator brand cabinet - then put the top on it that I picked up at Lowe's - who price matched an internet deal, they had it for $129, I found it on the web for $79, score! Also - not to self - I ordered this shelf from the Sears store, and they shipped it to my house for free. That was all fine and dandy, but there was a nice sized hole in the box, and both rear panels where dented. If it was the front panel I'd be pissed - but it was the rear. So 10 mins with a hammer and a nice sized piece of wood I knocked the panels back into shape. Besides that it went together pretty smoothly.

I have some florescent recessed lights to put up, I'll put those up some time later. After that I think my garage will be done for awhile.

Well - after running back and forth to my wheel guy like 4 different times this week.. and washing/claybaring/polishing/waxing the car - the car is finally ready for Charlotte Food Lion Autofair...

I'm just glad the car has 4 wheels the same color. I dropped the wheel off on Monday - I picked it up today. My new center caps arrived on Wednesday and I put them on right away... I'll have better pics from the show at the end of the weekend. :thumbsup:

LS7 swap, widebody, Z06 parts....

Why not just sell it and buy a real Z06? Wouldnt have been around the same price and have a higher resale value?
