Here it is; THE PROJECT as my friends call it. 383 hsr all forged internals. edelbrock victor jr heads about 10.2 cpr. 1.6 full rr, 226/232 cam. new t6 from a 95 lt1, spohn coil overs on all four corners. KYB agx struts up front. c5 z06 brakes with cross drilled and slotted rotors zinc coated on all four corners. 3.73 posi rear end from a 97 30th anniversary 4th gen ss. Dash replaced with all autometer gauges and a dakota digital convertor for the ecm and speedo. REAL C6 rims purchased from Lingenfelter performance 19x10 78mm offsets on rear strapped with 285/35zr19's falken 451's front has 18x8.5 56mm offset strapped with 265/35zr18's, used 1.7" wheel adapters from skulte performance. I tried the 2.25" adapters and were just too much, there are no clearance issues with the 1.7's. On the rear I had to rubber mallet a few spots but no probs with a 5/16" spacer in place. ANy questions or comments than please respond. I have a lot of tuning and setup left to get it just right so I will be around alot to ask question. Thanks guys.

you cannot hyperlink pictures from you hardrive. you will need to either upload them to a place like photobucket or cardomain. sounds like quite the car, i'd like to see the picks.

When i saw the picture i saw a hint of Photshop being used.

Just a creative way on covering the license plate # i guess.

yes I paint shop pro'd the license plate by extending the light covers... Thought it looked pretty good for a quick job. Actually the side pic has the handles shaved off the same way, might make it real this winter. Everything else is genuine. BTW that is the original 17 year old factory paint job.

I am in Canada.. where are you?

I know, there are a few imperfections here and there but overall the paint is in excellent condition. Car behind it is my wife's brand new mazda 3 with the whole paint protection package and everything and if you walk by it wrong a new chip shows up. I'm in Cochrane Alberta, which is ten minutes west of Calgary.
