Talking OMG What have I done

All I wanted to do was rebuild my engine! I decided on "Peper Gray Metallic" for the color of the truck. The engine compartment will be the first to receive this treatment. I will also have some "Dark Blue" Strategically to break up the gray. This is A Dupont paint that they used on ELEANORE on the movie Gone in 60 Seconds. Look at those tires

Holy Shi# them are some big tires up front. Do you already know if they are going to rub or cause any problems? What size are the tires and wheels? It looks cool tho.

i would hope you have power steering.... those are some monster tires in the front...... WOW best of luck with the rebuild! but as everything goes with cars you want to do something small and then you end up doing a lot

Best of luck!

I have had the wheels and tires on my truck for 8 months. No rub problems at all. I plan on dropping it 2 more inch's.

Thanks Boraxman I love my VETTE.
71Rat I do have power steering or yes that would really suck.
yellow72custom They are indeed corvette rally's.
