Thanks for the suggestions I am just look for every one opinions. One other thing I for got to mention and earlier is that I plan to run 18s in the front and 17 s in the rear most people probably wont like it, but my car is more function over form the 18s will give better turn in characteristics and clear the 14 inch brakes and the 17s in the rear will give me more side wall and hopefully help with better traction and ride quality.

a little dark by the tread.. maybe you can lighten it..

Steve, how high do the rockers sit off the ground, and why does it have 67 mirrors? I just love that car less the hood.

Steve, your car looks awesome, I like the new front spolier without the air ducs.

By the way, there's a show coming up "Los Angeles Chevy Madness 805-686-2007 Aug 14, 2005" Do you know if it's similar to Super Chevy and worth going?

Looks to me like Brian kept the blueprints laying around after building the jigs and spindles for JP's Nova. Are you using all the same x,y,z measurements or did you make changes to the parts themselves?

because 67 mirrors are cool!!

Actually it only has one mirror.. I love how it looks but at speed it seems to move a bit.. might change them out.

I could measure for you.. the clearance isnt as bad as you think since the exhaust is tucked up well.

Yea, the hood needs a new home.. on a drag car

I don't think the LS2 will need a tall hood..

315s!!!! That's exactly what I'm going to run too, but Im widening the fenders a little to get some steering back. Of course my car is a little bigger and probably will look more proportional. What kind of offset where you thinking? Chassis looks great...cant wait to see it run on the track!
