Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

Nevermind.... found it on the link you posted.

"The luxury styling of the Camaro improved with a set of three-piece 19 x 8- and 22 x 10-inch Asanti AF144 wheels wrapped in Nitto Envo tires measuring 235/30/19 and 295/25/22 respectively. Stopping these meats is a full set of Wilwood four-piston brakes."

NO!! Don't cover it! leave i uncovered so you can go out and stare at it with ease. At least that's what I'd do.

Guys I bought the cover about three years ago from a company named
www.craftecinc.com not completely sealed but very low profile and looks very good...

I do look at it from time to time but being black the dust settles on it too quick so I have to cover it....
