They are the Cragar Street Star steel wheels although I'm trying to find the 15x4 or 15x3.5 Drag Stars for the front. 350 under the hood, specs shall remain nameless for now. I believe that the color combo is factory because I've seen other cars that look the same. Glass was tinted before I got it, and they did a bad job, so eventually I'll redo it. Sounds on the inside are a Pioneer head unit, Jensen 6x9's, Kenwood 4x6's, Jensen 2250 amp, 1 Kicker Comp VR 12" in a box I built to fit down in the well. Have pics of that box if you guys want, and I can still store the ttops in the bag without moving the bag, or setting it on top of the amp. I might even be able to dig up the old plans if anyone is interested. As for the sounds outside, Hedman full-length headers and the exhaust in the pic below. It pretty much overpowers the inside sounds.

No specs at this time!? Why, b/c its stock or modded? If its stock, don't worry about it! Look around you, there are more stock cars here than you or i could count. Nothing to be ashamed of. So, whatcha got? Not pressuring you or anything, details are always good here, and if someone says something negative about your ride, FUKC 'EM! later

Yea.. I'm just tryin to keep stuff secret from some of my buddies who think they are Vin Diesel and Paul Walker... you know... the 10 seconds at a time... yea right. But the motor is the basic Goodwrench 350. The box is a story in itself. It fits extremely well due to the extensive mesauring and planning I did to build it. It has the recommended volume within 2 cu. in. and you could probably drive a car over it. It fits around the electric hatch motor and the amp mounts just to the left of the sub.

usa1racing, Car looks great, although one thing I would change is put the blackwalls out on the tires.

You two are thinking of Weld Pro Stars.

Pic of the front. Trying to sell the tach and buy a Sport Comp Silver one, dent in the front fender is from a deer, getting fixed in the spring. I'm going to try to polish the parking lenses like people have polished their taillights to they're clear and not hazy, and then put brighter orange bulbs inside of them. Has anyone ever done this? Would like to take the front plate off, but Ohio police say no. Any other ideas?
