they are 17x9.5 all the way around..

heres some current (well 6 months ago, and some older than that) pics. The car is in the garage under a cover because its never seen a single winter since new... well not what i'd consider winter... it was originally from Hawaii and was in hawaii, then north carolina (the only time it ever saw snow and the original owner said it was a 1/2 inch dusting that was gone by noon.), then florida wherei bought it from the original owner in 2004. i then moved to phoenix and took it with me, and just this past summer trailered it back to indiana... so i figure why ruin a good thing... a rust free southern car might as well stay a nice weather only car.

The pinstriping was painted when I bought the car, but it was faded. So, when I had them redone by another striper, he painted flames on the door to give it a classic feel. He does great work!

looks like summit shipped my 12" Maf extension, i can't wait to get this project done

(just a stock WS6 engine pic i found)

(my actual engine bay, although there is now a yellowtop duralast in there instead of the red one)


I figured since i was getting the hood i might as well go all the way and get the whole setup, and since i got a good deal on a used airbox/bellow w/ K&N ($115 shipped) i felt it was an easy decision.. the only other thing i had to get (aside from the hood grills) was the MAF extension... which should be here tuesday or wednesday

nah not yet. i'm still working on the injection setup (ran out of money haha). however, the spark plugs are functional and spark with the flip of a switch. i will have to set up a relay to either A)activate a separate pump to inject to the nozzles or B)maintain use of the original pump and tap a t-fitting, then to the nozzles. i promise i will get both pictures and videos once the project is complete. i'm excited as hell to get this done already, but with full time work/school, i have very little time and money. i'm attending an all pontiac show down in petersburg, va this may, and my goal is to have it finished by then.
