The tire and wheel choice were also bought early last year before hanging around this place findin out what was cool. When this thing fires up and drives down the street I will likely order a set of Forgelines that day. For now there is still many things to procure. And also these will be for sale . Currently they are 18 x10 (6"BS)
295/45/18 and 17 x 8 (4.75"BS) w/255/45/17.

The engine is a LS3 with L76 intake. I got the engine late last year from gmcopo. It is basically a service/warranty 08 LS3 long block. I plan to run Vette acc. drive for now. I will install a Vintage air in the car for later. I am using ATS LSX pan and mounts. Headers are Edelbrock 1-3/4" stepped to
1-7/8". Harness will be Speartech with DBW and John suggested I use an LS2 MAF. Radiator Ron Davis and was a little more than twice what I paid for this whole POS car

We used UPOL Raptor bed liner for under the car. It laid down pretty good.

I like the texture shown in this shot better

Man, great project! Love everything you did. Don't worry about not getting every top shelf part, just be glad your well on your way to a sweet ride you'll be happy with. Personally I think it's perfect, stock frame and all.

Hi Carter, You know I had not yet because I think I want to change color stripes again . I just want to give more thought before I bug you again. But just to get feedback from others here are some diff. stripes tests. I would advise that to anybody looking for a pleasant person work with it would be Carter. He is good at what he does. He helped determine things I thought would look good but once I saw it quickly realized it was not for me.
