What are the current wheels on this car? I thought it had Fikse's on it originally but seems they have been changed at some point?

If I tried to do another car for next year I think it would kill me....

Paul we looked at the wheels in your driveway and I go back and forth on which ones I like better. Just to keep things fun I should have yet another new set for Autoramma.

I would like to go on record that I love LS engines. I just pulled the trans out of my car today and the bottom of the car is bone dry. Just a little road grim but no oil except for a small amount from the blown P/S rack. The car has never leaked since day one. I think the trick is I now pressure check every hose and tank before I install it on the car.

Looking over the car everything looks great. I few loose bolts but nothing big for as much track time as this car saw this year.

Mark

My buddy Gordon was at Optima and took some great pictures.

I thought these were good.

Muscle car with out ABS..









Muscle car with ABS...priceless









I have my rear axle apart and I think I have a solution for my ABS fault issues. Once I get the parts made I'll share my design.

Personally.... I have the maturity of a sophomore in high school... and prefer the smoke and screeching tires and wubba flying.



Nice job Mark! Amazing difference!

Gordon got some really nice shots there too!
