Currently putting the fear of the autobody gods into myself, hoping to get this touch up set enough that I don’t need to worry about it hazing overnight due to the cold:

Well I started to wrap the headers and got one most of the way done, when a buddy came over and told me I wrapped them in the wrong direction. So took it all apart and started again then the super weird Snap On guy showed up so I threw in the towel and ran for the hills to avoid him and his "what can I do for you today....."

Haven't posted/logged in a while,
Got a fresh 482BBC in it to replace the 468 I build back in 09,
13"/12" disc brakes, and UMI front a arms finally on it. Took it autoX Saturday 9/16, needs substantially better shocks and fresh tires lol.
Next big ticket item is fuel injection on it.

Good lord! I need some tissue!
I would love a set of soft 8s just not sure if they would clear my brembos.
That one with a 315 those don’t look like 17x9 I wonder where he got a wider set from.

I've got C5 12.9" front brakes under my soft 8 wheels all OEM spec parts.
From what I have been able to gather they had a local shop widen a set of 17*9 to 11".
Since C19 craggar doesn't do custom wheels anymore.

Since American racing bought rocket wheels anything wider than 17*9 has become slim picking have to jump to 18" or $1000-1500 billet wheel

I wouldn’t mind 17x9 in the front but I would love a 17x11 in the rear
Currently on 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 in the rear.
