It also changed hoods 3 times, it is now a manual, has an LS1 rear with 3.73 gears, 97 Camaro Leather seats and console.

There is going to be one more wheel change, silver ZR1's (those black ones belong to my brother).

Ya, the T/A is on it's 14th set of wheels. It's had 6 sets of wheels since it's been down, about 2.5 years now.

You would think so, who else would change the wheels 6 times on a car that does not run!? That's alot of pushing.

No pushing at all, car is in the garage so I just jack her up and pull the wheels off.
If I were a bit taller, I'd just leave her jacked up. Kinda hard to work on the motor being short though.
