      Very nice, I wish I could get the 285/35 in a 16 inch rim.

      That car looks great. 285 on an 8" rim is tight, but looks pretty good. Any pics of the yellow car in the garage?

      What brake set-up is that? Looks very interesting because you know it means business yet it looks like a factory option.

      Pretty sure he's running the Corvette calipers on the back,I think it's the JL-8 set-up but obviously not factory.

      Wow those camaros look good. Both cars look like extremly clean resto's. Are they both orignal z/28's? Those brakes look like the jl-8 option brakes (I think) cast iron 4 piston calipers.

      Yes,both are original Z's,mine's an X-77 base car.

      The lugs were specially made for us by a machinist buddy we know,they are stainless steel and run $400/set.He had those custom one-off center caps made,I do not know the cost of those...I'm afraid to ask.

      Here's a close-up of the lugs on my '70 Z/28:





      And here's another set on my '70 SS454:

      We're gonna need to see more pics of the chevelle and the orange camaro.

      Who would have thought that lug nuts would make such a big difference.

      Funny you ask because most laughed at the thought of paying $400 for a set of them (I have 3 sets) but to me...they complete the look I'm trying to achieve.

      Here's more of the Chevelle:





      And the '70 Z/28:





      And the whole family got dressed for this one:
