I want to start on a complete build on my car but I am still buying parts a saving money right now. I have c6 brakes and a bunch of new goodies from Mark but I know when I start the snowball starts from the top of Mt Evererst. With Goodguys here next weekend I had to get the stance right so I chopped the stock springs until I get Eibachs in.

Easily in my top 10 favorite cars. Keep us posted, this will be a very cool build and it's great to see something different!

Sold the other wheels last year after Good Guys and have been driving it around like the first pic.

Today I finally got a chance to start working on it. Figured out what the new combo will look like at ride height. I also got the old suspension out from under the car.

I hope to have suspension and brakes mocked up Sunday so I can measure for wheels. I am running out of time. It will be on power tour come hell or high water.

I picked up my slightly modified C6 Corvette calipers tonight after work. What do you think? I don't know if I am the first to do this but I have never seen it done.

JoeTouring.. I like it.. I notice a few of you guys are in DFW. I am about two hrs east. We have a company here that powdercoats frames for about 300 bucks.

I am definately one of the JoeTouring guys... Big dreams, little budget.

Joe Touring. I love it. OLDSMOBILE is a lot of letters on that caliper. Maybe just OLDS. Too late now though. Still looks good.

"Corvette" was only 2 less letters and the I in Oldsmobile does not take up much space so I think its looks better than just "Olds" would have.
