Couldn't be happier with the look of the car... Pics below from today before the snow. I took the wheels out of the box. Dated 1995. Round spoke, unilug with original design center caps. I polished the wheels by hand and they look great.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks,
Dan

Looks great, use to back my 69 Chevelle in the grass and wax them, could see the grass in the shine. Had Lemans L-60's 0n 8&quot; and F-70's on 6&quot; on the front. That was back in 1975. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/3gears.gif

Looks good Dan. Is this one of the wheels that was dented?

I would spray the lug nut pockets with Krylon 1431..just how it was done in the 60's and 70's takes away the bling of the wheels.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the compliments.

Jake, I put a ZZ4 crate motor in the Z. The born with original motor is now safely stored on a stand in the corner of the garage. I took off some other parts like the 837 alternator, 367 starter, and some other items. Specs are hot cam upgrade package, Edelbrock Performer intake, Hooker headers, and a 750 double pumper Holley. Really a fun combination for a cheap investment.

Nice combination - looks great. I did the same thing to my Chevelle - took out the born with 402 and installed a GMPP 454/425 crate motor.

Looks great! What size front tires?

How well do those centerbolt-to-perimeter valve cover adapters work? Any leaks?

Terrible lol. They leaked so bad I took them off after running them once. Made a mess and wasted $.

Very likely the slope of the driveway from the photos is all... I've never noticed it and I'm anal about that.
