Im on it. Are they a standard size?

I met an airbrush guy at World of Wheels yesterday. I am thinking of doing airbrushed rally stripes and side graphics down low along the bottom of the car. I was thinking dark gray stripes with black airbrush (no colors) al-a black and white ink tattoos. Remember I am going for a show look. I want to be into this project no more than 25k so I have about 11k left dedicated to this car. I would like to keep as many of the modifications "period correct" meaning what would I have done to this car back when I was 22 if I could have afforded it. Cam, heads even the supercharger were the top of the line in the mid 90's but have long been past by better technologies. I want a car that is true to the time period....does this make any sense?

Guess this build will be a community project. Advise wanted and appreciated.

Thoughts???

There are a few different sizes, just take a measurement and you can get the size you need.

Thx formula, I ordered those center cover decals. Thanx for the point in the right direction. BTW, The longer the wheels are on the car the more I like them...definitely keepers. Anyone looking for a set of (4) Y2K polished OEM wheels??

Thanx for the compliment, I'm looking forward to showing the labor off when it is closer to a complete car.

Pizza, I'll post some pics tomorrow of the wheels. Front tires OK, rears suck. The wheels are perfect. No Idea what they are worth.

Adam (Black Heartbeat) has offered to assist in installing some go fast parts with me. With his help, hopefully I can get the car to paint in May and driving/showing in early June. This is a no budget build, looking to take a few trophys away from you LS1 guys and if you care to run maybe your dignity too. All kidding aside, he spent most of the afternoon under my car, just wanted to send out thanx and acknowledgment of his efforts.
