I posted my pic in another section here a while back. But now she's finally on the road. No inserts or mufflers, just straight through the pipes. LOUD! LOUD! LOUD! My neighbors hate me. :seizure:

why does it look "PHOTOSHOPPED" ?
that lug pattern looks like 5 on 10.75 :hmm:
something smells suspect here.

Nice interior!

Yes, that is a photochopped pic and no the interior wasn't in yet (but thanks for the compliment). The only photochopped thing in the pic is that I enlarged the wheels. They are actually only 17's. After doing the photochopping, I really want bigger than 17's. No new pic yet as I'm in Florida and you should all know what we're dealing with here.
Nothing to suspect guys. I bolted the wheels right onto the stock hubs.

Can we see the real pic?

Yes. I should be able to snap one sometime today and I'll post it then. For now, I do have this front shot that is un-photochopped. This pic is before lowering, hood pins, interior, roll cage, engine, etc. etc. That's why it sits so high.

Yes, the tire is on backwards in that pic. Just for rolling it in and out of my 1 car garage I didn't care much. They are on right now.

Man I love those seats. I'm thinking of egtting a pair myself. How are you mounting them? The pics are fine for me. might be a problem for people with slower comps

What size are they? Did you buy them threw summit or jegs?

litevette

They make mounting brackets, but I had mine fabbed to sit lower. The seats are the widest ones available. I still had to cut out the rib protectors on each one on the entry side. They are actually more comfortable than they look. I got them from Performance Bodies (a stock car parts company). They have them with the covers for the same price as others sell just the seats for. I intend to have them polished eventually. I'm also going to "Swiss Cheese" my door panels and have them polished to match. Finally, I'll have a small "Swiss Cheesed" and polished insert made for the dash. I'm trying to make a mostly aluminum, old bomber airplane ****pit look.

Thanks! Have fun building your bird. Birds and vettes are my favorite. I've had two birds (67' & 68') and still regret ever selling them. In my opinion, birds are THE most agressive looking cars ever built.
