Ron, I'm digging the new avatar. You show off!! LOL!!
Haha Thx Marcus. Couldn't help changing to the hardcore nose shot...
So time for a long overdue update. Two days after I got the car home I had knee surgery. Sat on my a** for two weeks went back to the doc for a follow up and was told it needed a redo. WTF/whatever, it'll be fine when it's all healed up. Had it redone. I did try to use the time wisely planning and spending $$$ on parts. Sat on my duff for another two weeks till I couldn't stand it any more, so I had a buddy come over yesterday and we got the ZR1 hubs, wheels and front brakes on the car. I chased threads, barked out orders (nicely) and he was my legs while I sat in the rolling shop chair.
Really happy with the theme. The look of the black centered wheels/polished hoops really chages the car as I thought it would (+1 for the render). I also think the meats fill up the rear nicely. Can't focus on stance till I get some fab done and more weight in the car. I'm a week or two from getting it down to Cris and I'll get some more updates once he gets rollin'. Parts have been coming in and the motor build is almost done so I'll update that soon as well. Thx for the emails and PMs while I've been gimping it a home...
Looking really good. I understand what you mean about sitting on your @$$ for weeks. I had surgery for hernias in july and just returned to work. Sucks not having your normal life and so frustrating not being able to work on what you love most. Hopefully the new wheels will help eas the boringness and frustration.
Ha, and just about when I was gonna ask what's up with this car...
Looks sweet Ron. Godpseed with your knee buddy.

Hey Rich - Thx bro! Wheels are 18x10, 275 tire. I think the 6.9" bs tucks it just enough, but really won't know till it rolls under load. I also rolled the fender lips before paint....
