Default Little update on the Camaro.

Finally got my wheels sold, so that meant money for something else.

I tried to get a T-56 setup from a member here, but they basically told me to go somewhere else to get it, obviously they didn't want my money, but that's ok..

I found a World Class T-5 setup, complete with everything besides a clutch and pressure plate.

Should be showing up next week I am hoping. Also, bought a new steering wheel.. nothing special:



Should look a little better.

Getting ready to fix the weather stripping on the outside of the t-tops and the hatch weather stripping so I can get my interior from the Firebird in there, should look alot better once done with that.

And then, something will be happening with the paint. I was originally going to use my money for the paint to start with, but I just had to have a manual transmission.

Anyways, that's what's new from me. And, expect alot of pictures once it happens.. I got a new camera.

While I'm thinking about things, I can't make up my mind what I want to get next for a set of wheels.

I definitely want 18's, and I don't want anything over played like the TTII's that I had.

Thing is, I am VERY picky about wheels. Generally, 5 spokes just rub me in all the right places.. you guys might know wheel choices better than me, so shoot me some suggestions.

I won't get any for atleast a year though, so I have PLENTY of time to think about it.

I want something offered in a staggered offset, want to get some nice wide meats on the back. Everything in the books at work is bling bling or over sized.

Those look nice and all, but they are too much like the TTII.

Finding something that will fit a 3rd gen backspacing without adapters or spacers is tough. Not to mention if your picky on wheels. personally, I love the TTII's you had, but other than that, i'd just grab up a set of Weld Draglites and call it a day. Your going to get the right spacing and offset, and still look mean as hell.
