Chris - When you went to fetch your car did you happen to get a snap of the ol' boy from Shelbyville who went with you?  I haven't seen his ugly mug for a couple of years and was wondering if all the beauty sleep he's gotten recently has helped any...!?!?!

Vette(s): 1972 coupe/350 cid/mild cam/4 spd/20 ft. paint (looks perfect from 20 ft.), but it sure runs nice.

[QUOTE=proracr]The tires are P225/70SR-15's.  I have run 255/60's on some of my past C3's, but will probably stick with these tires as I don't plan to drive this car as hard as I drove the others and these tires won't ding up the paint as much as the wider ones.  [/QUOTE]

Think I'm switching to these......currently have 255/60's. I'm not driving mine hard either and the look is very correct. Thanks.

JR

Great looking ride.. gotta love those chrome bumpers... Also, I do like the mirrors, maybe they'll cut down on the huge blind spot...

Good work!

Nice job Chris. I think the newer mirrors look great on it.
