Really like where you are taking this one, Rodger. Flat white wrap is a great call. I'm surprised the flat colored wraps haven't caught on a little more actually. I really want to do one sometime.

Loved that white Vette at SEMA too.

Rodger,
A couple nights ago I went through this whole thread again, so I am excited to see some updates on this one.

Well thanks guys. It has been a pretty easy project but it still takes time. I'm excited to get to use and abuse the car this year.

On this project I could careless about stance and such. The suspension geometry at this height is spot on, plus the big 295 front tires barely clear as it is. I'm going to actually move the rear lower tip of the front fender opening back just a bit so it won't rub at full lock. Other then that Everything is good. But your right it does not have the stance but sometimes reality wins out over what some guys draws on paper. I have been really really happy with how well this car handles and how predictable it is.

Now I just need to figure out why trans fluid if coming out of the top of the shifter. Not in between the shifter and housing but in the top of the shifter. In between the spring and the lever of the actual shifter. But only at High RPM. After that I want to change the oil and take care of just a few cosmetic issues and then who friggin cares. This car is 3015 lbs with my big ass in it and probably 550hp. I just want to spend more time with the car before I really decide what changes it needs. The car rides pretty stiff as it is but seems to work well but even though its stiff the rates are really low. I actually had to switch to hyperco springs because the car is so light Chassisworks did not have a spring to fit.

Thanks again guys

Thank you for your blessings Todd. Well I'm not changng the wheel colors at this point. I'm just changing the Orange to flat white cuz the wrap was cheap and easy. Actually the gold (although more titianium in person) centered wheels have gone over well. But I do think they may not work as well with the white wrap now. But I hear gold wheels are faster.

Did you change out the wheels, the rendering looks like forgelines but I thought you already have a set of Budniks made for this car.
on the rendering, better than the first
