Few random pictures – two sets of wheels & engine compartment

 

Some of the prettier aspects of the car should be coming together soon.  These first two are of the Vintage Engineering magnesium wheels, after coming back from receiving their DOW 9 coating.

Ray at Vintage then drills for the Camaro bolt pattern, and removes the coating from the outer lips with a scotch-brite pad on a lathe.  When done they look like the other two I’ve already received.  When they’re all here, will get the vintage-style Avons mounted up and put on the car.

Those are just for the street and any show-type activities though.  The ones below are the real deal race wheels.  18×9″ Jongbloed 214 Aero, with custom backspacing, different front and rear.

Jongbloed mounted up my first set of brand new shaved ST tires on those today, should have them this week.  Congrats to Mike Heinitz for correctly identifying the wheel pattern after I showed them in process back here.

Below are a few of the engine compartment, coming together, for real this time!  🙂  The March Performance pulleys look really great – they add a pop of shine without the obnoxiousness of chrome, and don’t betray the simple mostly-stock, all-business look I’m after.

With any luck I’ll have some rollers on this thing for some out-in-the-driveway shots this weekend.
