Yep!!! Got 'em...Man they are big! (i can't keep my eyes off 'em)

I'm now looking for a place to get the rotors Zinc'd so they stay nice.

I aslo placed my order with Frank at PRODIGY CUSTOMS yesterday too!!!. You want a great deal...Talk to Frank he'll set you up, Fast. I finally settled on FORGELINE'S 19x8.5" fronts and 20x13" rear ZX3p's in Gunmetal. Delay is 5-6 weeks so i better get 'somtin to do....

Car should be triple black with either a gunmetal or red hockey stripe and cloth (Canvas) top.

The car is getting worked on at the shop, the DSE connectors we're finished today, the new aluminum bushings are installed and the work on the tubs is to be done by next week.

My plan is to bring the car back home, strip the whole undercarriage/ wire brush clean and then shoot it with some kinda Rhino liner. After that i'll get the housing rebuilt + every bracket and bolts p-coated and put all new brake and fuel lines in. I also got the brakets from KORE3 to mount the brake conversion...They are awesome (talk to Tobin) And i got the braided Flexkore lines while at it. I'll rebuild the front end and frame too. Then, its back down to the ground.

Things are moving faster than with the coupe....I'm happy!

I might need to go with a new suspension in the rear...(Air Bar or Q-link are my choices...altough leaning on Air) in a few weeks as it seems i still need more space than i've found to clear the 345's....I'm still hitting the front half of the leaf even with the offset shackles installed. :rolleyes:

Do you think Hypnotizing could releive me from this addiction? (seriously, i tought about it!)

Hope you like!

SWEET, SWEET, SWEET!!! Make for sure you do the rear suspension swap before you shoot the bottom of the car!! Gonna be bad ass!!! :thumbsup:

Are you planning on running 14 inch discs and six piston calipers all around?
Looks to be an awesome car, can't wait to see it done.

I R Jealous!!!

Very nice. Are the wheels going to clear the calipers? I know around they should, but I'm talking about the back side of the spokes. I sure hope so. That's gonna look incredible together.

Sexy!!!! Can't wait to see the whole Thing! :yes:

Congrats man, looking real good!

Alex

Thanks!
 

Hey Guy's,

Thanks for the props! I am very happy...even if some don't like that set up,it fits what i entend to do with the car and my budget.

Awr, no worries. My plan is to take the car back home, strip the underside and take it from there. Thanks!

D Rock, I got the comlete Z-06 upgrade which means i got 2-6pistons for the front w/ 14 inch rotors and 2-4 pistons for the rear w/ 13.4" rotors

Z, i checked with Forgeline before ordering using the KORE3 Caliper template which is a great tool. They build wheels for Z-06 on a daily basis so the are aware of the caliper's face thickness...Thanks for the worrries. It would have been a sad surprise.

Glad you like my new acquisitions!

I should drop by the shop today, i'll get some new pics if i can. :cool:

Nice choices. You will certainly be happy with the Forgelines and the gunmetal in particular. Can't wait to see those 345's under the car.

They look really good, love the wheel choice. When you get a chance can you weigh the calipers and rotors and post the results?
