Got the new wheels put on the 69 Stingray
What a PITA it was too! I had to cut the e-brake brackets off and relocate the lines and cut the mufflers off. The mufflers will need to be welded back on at a slightly different angle- I'll get that taken care of soon. Oh and one other dilemma- some genius at discount tire decided that the two 275's should both go on the driver's side, and the two 255's should go on the passenger side. Or at least thats how the tires were mounted So I called them and they told me to take it to any place I felt comfortable with fixing the tire rotation and then fax them the bill and they will reimburse me. Of course I find this out about 4:00 yesterday after all the tire shops are closed So anyways, yes- I know the front left, and back right tires are facing the wrong directions, so no need to comment about them!
And no, its not an LS powered vehicle yet, but it soon will be! LS7/ T56 combo is awaiting install
Anyways, enjoy the pics

Yea, seeing all those cool toys you have just fuels my fire to finish up that ME degree. I'm loaded up with summer school right now, I'm just ready to get out and get a career and then really get some toys to play with. Keep up the good work

In this case I think the original Rally wheels would look much better. I cannot see the reason the TTM wheels are so popular. They just look like a cheap TT2 ripoff IMO. On top of that the tires are just way too tall. A 40 series sidewall would look MUCH better.
