The wheels are 17by9.5 and 17by7 boyd hot rods.The exhaust was on the car when I bought it I think its hooker dual exhaust.The mods when I get it done will be 109 block with 4 billet mains and a girdle,eagle crank,champion gn1 heads,55's,t66,and a billet roller cam from weber racing.This same set up with a stock bottom end went a 10.75@127 on 21 psi in my old car which was a malibu.Turning the boost up I hope to get some mid to high tens on drag radials.Thanks for all the complements I have worked hard on it.

Car looks very nice. And i got to agree the blue with the black trim is just perfect. Keep up the good work.

One thing i got to say is step away from the car, go to a local electronics store, and get yourself a real digital camera.

I have the QA1 coil-over set up up front and Belltech 2" drop spindles. I also cut a coil of of the springs because it still sat to high with the coil-overs all the way down. It sits good now. Pics are in my sig.

Mailbuick, the car is looking great. The stance with no front springs looks awesome. Cant wait to see it all back together and running. You gonna run a front spoiler or leave it off? I finally got my nittos 315s on, glad you confirmed they would fit for me, as they are perfect.

We probably do know each other... I used to come down to the "Nationals" and I used to hang out with "Larry" from Fairfield Car Clinic. I got married and that stopped me from hanging out as much. I used to hang out at Steele, Lassister Mtn and Holiday Beach. As I said, we probably do know each other. Do you hang out with Reid, or Scott (STP). I used to come to the "Nationals" in my med. Canyon metallic SVO Mustang. I meet Scott and found out we both had SVO's and T-Types. I am in Grad school know and dont get out to the "Nationals" as much.
