I also purchased the Z06 6 piston and 4 piston calipers, 13.9" vented rotors, C5/C6 corvette spindles front/rear, and C5/C6 wheel bearings. I figured all of that would top this project off a lil more. The rims came in today and the calipers will be here tomorrow. Need the wheel bearings to hurry up so I can put the puzzle together. Here is a shot of the wheels and a generic shot of what the rotors and calipers look like.

Whoa dude seriously! I haven't checked this thread in a while - and now you have Z06 wheels . . awesome! I was just commenting on Mikey G's build that he needed some Z06 wheels. Those are my favorite factory wheels. Period. Going to look awesome on your car.

The engine has been pulled to notch the rear frame for better control arm clearance and to get ready to paint the frame this week. Just need to make the passenger seat bracket, steering bearing bracket, finish the front sway bar end links and front shock bar. I also added another stiffening bar between to the rear shocks behind the engine and made a new down pipe setup. Photos to come shortly.
