The body on your car looks pretty straight, it looks like it just needs paint, but doesn't most of our cars, lol.


I must have deleted the pic of a Camaro I had with the old Cragers, sorry.

My dad was up my **** about getting them. I seen them when they first came out on a older vette at Carlise and I liked them. But I don't like that fact that there steel. I have never seen them on a 3rd gen in real life. I went with the roh snypers. I like them but I wish i would have gotten something chrome now.

I've got a 15" set that is rusted and corroded...I've been thinking of sandblasting them with the sandblaster (my dad has one) and painting them silver.
