Yup, had some warmer weather today so I shot out to Rutland and got the cradles/suspension back under my vette chassis and made it a roller again.

Interestingly enough third gen formula wheels fit the rear of a c5 pretty well lol. I was suprised. They fit the fronts too, if you pull the calipers off

That's all for now. Hopefully start tearing the 68 apart shortly, just need to get a vw beetle out of the bay.
Yup, winters here and I'm bored

Well, firewall forward I know 90% what I'm doing.

As for the rear I'm still not totally sure leaning towards keeping the vette transaxle now that Ive done a little more digging but I still have a few odds and ends to sort out. That and still need to take some good measurements with all the extra stuff out of the way.

You're going to break it!!!

Am I crazy for thinking those Formula wheels look kinda cool on a C5 Z06?

Yup, at some point I'm sure I will. If you don't break it every now and then you're not having enough fun

And no, you're not crazy, I thought the wheels looked kinda cool too. Almost fitting

Speaking of wheels, one of the hardest things I'm having a time settling on is wheels for the car when it's done.
Need something in vette offset that looks good on a first gen bird. Hmmm....

Quite honestly I would be disappointed with you if you didn't break it
