I was curious because of the PS reservoir relocate, which is required for the PC setup.

i had to relocate it due to the nick wiliams 102mm throttle body. its the old style that uses the corvette actuator which is on the driver side instead of the new style which is on the pass side

26x4.5x15 and 275x50r15 hoosiers.

and now i hate the white letters showing. i want to get them swapped around but im soo afraid the wheels will get scratched this time... its just my luck it seems. any ideas on ways to get the paint off?? ive done a little with finger nail polish remover but not much. im afraid something that will work on the paint may hurt the tire

7.5" Backspace on the rear wheels?

Did you cut or roll the fenders?

Looks good.

Blacked out intake looks fantastic. One of the best underhood I've seen.

Yeah, the MSD coils are a really nice touch to the mostly black engine bay.

Looks tuff,i like the black manifold as well.I would paint your daily wheels black also and that will really stealth the beast up.Good work

If you really want to get rid of the white letters, you could try black shoe dye/polish....but I think they look great! Beautiful build man!
