They look and fit great. Other than that Ive never driven on them so I cant provide much more of a review than that. I traded the deep dish zr1 reps for the Jegs wheels. I have a pair of C6 front wheels that are going to be my street wheels for the front for now. They'll be powder coated to match the Jegs as close as possible.

Its getting a junkyard motor for right now just to move under its own power.




What paint was that, spray bomb or something in a paint gun? Looks great btw. I am back and forth what to paint mine with on a pewter car. I could go urethane to match but I'm really thinking of copying your color!

It's rusteoleum hot rod black primer of some sort. Ill take a pic of the can. I bought some satin black to spray over it but honestly the primer looks so good and is holding so well I may not even bother. Undecided yet.

Thanks, if you could post a picture I'd appreciate it. On Rusteoleum site I only found basic black primer.

Cut hours at work due to the pandemic have ground toy car business to an abrupt halt. Next order of business will be getting the 10 bolt pulled to be replaced with a 3.90 geared 31 spline 8.8.

Not much progress has been made but a few things here and there. Picked up a known good used body harness to fix my wiring issues/damage. Got a weiand/lingenfelter intake from a buddy that will be getting sent out with my 799's for porting and port matching. Got a free low mileage LS2 cam from a coworker who upgraded so that will go in for now. 8.8 housing is sitting at my parents and just needs to go out to be mated to the 10 bolt. Hoping to have it running under its own power by Thanksgiving if everything goes as planned.
