Ahh the one 3.8L SC I love. And holy hell, that's a nice set of mods there. Ever been to the track?

Did you do a hub swap to get them Cobras on or use adapters?

Haven't gotten it to the track yet, Im trying to get this car finished before i buy a house. Just gotta get all the fiberglass parts on ,take stuff out, and get car painted. As for the rims, i found a place that made rims in my bolt pattern.

Thanks everyone, i heard so many good things about The Chicago Garage, decided to join. Ya i took the sleeper approach for my version of fun, but in a few months that look will be gone. Car is going to be 400 to 500lbs lighter, cant wait to see what it will be like after that.
