my new cellphone takes pictures, so i took some documentation of a few cool things that have happened lately.
pic 1. Vette wheels! These are Towery disapproved, 17x9.5 all around, et56
. Pretty light (low 20s i'd guess) and undeniably cool, with a subtle lip... and they were $152 yesterday at the Super Chevy show! Plus, we got 3 hotdogs and 3 bottles of water out of the deal 
They look sweet mocked up next to the titebox, but theyre gonna be strictly for the 744
you don't think they're gonna fit, that they're gonna need way too much spacer?
Don't worry, I'm putting a 8.8 rear end in my 744, so the added track width of the diffy and the need to drill hubs anyway will make these fit with minimal spacerin'! I've fit 265/40-16 (right, michael?) on 16x9.5 et3 to my stock 744 rear before, and that should've only needed minor fender trimming, but then again, it was not low.
I'm thinking 245/40-17 or 255/40-17 for these wheels, probably RS2s, but if the 9.5s don't fit in front I would also have the option of swapping the 9.5" fronts out for 17x8.5s and the same 56et, since sawblade 8.5" wheels came stock on the front axle on 93-96 basemodel vettes. 17x11 et36 in the same sawblade style was on the rear of the ZR1s back then
I think it's a good long-term wheel choice, because vette guys take care of their cars, and the options for brakes is endless in chev bolt pattern.
pic 2. pucci approves of my wheel choice. barely. she's 1/2 dachsund, 1/2 pomeranian, and 100% bitch, but I love her. 16lbs of fury. winky does not approve (one-eyed tibetan in the background).
pic 3. the tentacle snuggling up to the titebox.
more e-codery than most people can handle.
this is from when mike and megan came to visit Richmond, VA and Knox Motorsports. Lawrence and Mike built a 2.5" mandrel bent straight through exhaust for the tentacle wagon, we ate chicken, dynotuned the wagon, and generally did cool stuff. most recent documentation that titebox still exists (up until the mangohick meet, that is).
That's all for now. When I get some time I'll start a project thread for the resurrection of my blue car.
