Boyd Coddington Stingrays with the same setup as Jerry's butternut coupe. Pretty awesome!

Take some pictures during the day, it will look even better. The flash lights up the wheelwell area too much, that's what happened when I tried taking pictures in the garage. Looks good! graemlins/thumbsup.gif

What a difference wheels make huh Jeff, you should take a picture in daylight in the exact same position that you did with your picture with the steel wheels on, then post one on top of the other. A before and after. Looks awesome!!

It was overcast, so they still didn't come out quite right. I need to get on the interior and new weatherstipping quick. The kid drove it and has got so many thumbs up, he wants to drive it all the time now. :D

Looks great!! graemlins/thumbsup.gif I'd drop the front so the tire fits the wheek well the same as the rear does. The wheel choice keeps it retro with the benefits of modern tech... Good job!! graemlins/beers.gif

Thanks.

Yeah I'd really like to drop the nose, but I'm also putting a front spoiler on the car and I'll need to check to make sure it doesn't scrape.

The plan is to work on the weatherstripping and interior this weekend... assuming the weather holds up.

BTW, this is a father/son project and its going to be his car. (Although I've paid for everything so far.) graemlins/sad.gif

Stock ride height. My son says there is a slight rub on the passenger rear on turns, but heck its the original suspension. ;)

235/45 on 17x7 w/ 4.25 front
255/45 on 17x8 w/ 4.75 rear

The blue is Dupont 5355 (I think). It closely matches the Penske Trans Am blue.
