No it runs fine, just had a new tranny in under warranty and a new motor at 25K....I put some of the mods on, he did the rest. It just needs a littel TLC and he didnt have time to do it and I do...well sorta..lol...I dont believe he was a fellow CEG'r....

After seeing that I will most likely paint my rims black now! Sure as hell beats buying new rims. What did it cost to powercoat them...? nice overall ride and good deal-Stu

Thanks and NO powdercoating, I did those with primer, paint, and tons of clear....I used the Rust Oleum(sp) enamel...Got it at Auto-Zone..I just sanded the rim...primed...sanded...primed...sanded...paint..paint...clearX10...
And I agree I will be buying new rims next spring, so this is only a temp fix, so I can concentrate my time on repainting the whole car now!!!

Looks good otherwise. 
Are you just not a painted wheel kind of guy or my workmanship?? I am not a pro, and this was the first thing I have ever painted so any advice would be good advice!!
No no, don't take me the wrong way at all mate. Your worksmanship is first rate. A+ 
But I'm just not a HUGE fan of the black wheels/black car deal. I'd go the gunmetal/polished lip route myself, but if all black was offered to me, I'd likely take it. 
PS: Your car and Pete's are the only two with Pre-98 lids that I approve of.

Thanks!! I will get some more pics for those who wanted some from farther away tomorrow. Thanks for all the compliments, I have to say this site has helped me a ton on what to do and how to do it.Gotta love that search button!!!
I might be up for selling them in the spring, just drop me a PM when you see the thread of my new ones!!!
