Hello everyone...
I just picked up my new 1985 Notchie. She's has an LT1 out of a 93 vette with a 4 speed. She has Vette front brakes with only a big bore Master Cylinder. I have a C-10 booster for it but... I'll save the questions for another thread.
Paint is in very great shape but the interior didn't fair so great. But I'm already in the process of redoing it. I have the car completely gutted.
The rear wing will be getting replaced. I am still on the fence regarding the exhaust tips. The dual 4" tips...
What do you guys think ; Keep or replace?

I say dump those puny photos (and whatever image host you're using), and use the great built-in PFF image hosting service!

Those four large juice cans are kind of over the top. 
Perhaps the wide angle of the photos has distorted the perspective, but the rear camber looks rather skewed. Are the tops of the rear tires actually angled outwards?[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 03-22-2021).]

Yes, alignment looks way out.
If true, often has too big tires/rims and can't adjust camber right w/o tires hitting springs etc.------------------

Yep the exhaust tips are a little over the top. ------------------

Yeah... I agree on the tips... I'm thinking removing and maybe just only one 4" exhaust tip centered.
With regards to the alignment; Previous owner stated he recently had it aligned prior to sale.
It's currently setting on 19" wheels. Do you think this is the cause?[This message has been edited by str8maxn (edited 03-23-2021).]

IMO... 4" tips look silly enough on an import, let alone a domestic car. Way too much of a ricer look.

If the rear wheels are actually angled out from the top like the photos seem to show, I can't believe that a proper wheel alignment has been done.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 03-23-2021).]
