Thanks

Going to try and get springs and shocks on the car before fall then do the wheel and brakes. I should be able to get to a couple events next year with it

I'll second the Z28, very cool ride. The others are also pretty cool, that LS motor in the Mustang is pretty sweet.:thumbsup:

I have been looking at wheels and think I am going to go with black z06 17 and 18. C5 brakes from kore3 red calipers. DSE springs and koni shocks.
Deff doing DSE subframe connectors and sway bar.

Like to pick up a 5.3 with a 4l60e. Priced out the vintage air. Holley has some new alt and ps brackets coming out that should allow a truck alt with a car ps pump clear the steering stuff . Deff like cheaper than vette front dress

Sounds like some good stuff. Keep us posted. :thumbsup:

I got the Pypes exhaust on last week. It is super super quite. This is the kit with the transvers muffler.

I wanted max ground clearance and to be able to drive for hours so it needed to be quitet. I would say in sounds like a stock 2000's f body.

Also installed rear Koni classic shocks. These made a big difference going to try and get front ones for it this week.
