Does anyone know who owns this Vette? It is absolutely beautiful. I'd like to contact them to find out the size and offset of the wheels and to find out what color that is.

Your website has proved very helpful in saving me time figuring out the offset required. I have been wavering on buying the offset trailing arms in order to fit more meat under the stock fenders.
My Vette has never been in a collision, so I'm not real excited about cutting the virgin glass in order to flare the wheel wells. Plus, the rebuild has proven easy to empty my bank account and I'm going to have to better prioritize some of my mods in order to keep it on a "cash" basis. I hate credit, as you may get a good deal on some parts, but if you charge them, the interest makes the good deal a not so great deal pretty quickly.
I love the color of that Vette....just can't tell if it's a candy color or a factory color off of another car.
Originally posted by WayneLBurnham So Mako, you're saying the '75's are easier to plant big meats under with lesser mods thatn the '68-'69's? It's a coming mod and I think my trailing arm bushing on one side is iffy anyhow, so I may do the offsets soon.Pretty much, you got it. The early Sharks have ~1" less width under the fenders than the '70+ cars.
If your going to be reworking the trailing arms, it's not a lot more $ to just replace them with an offset arm instead. The main added expense is the new shortened rear spring.
That way your set up for if/when you want fat meats in the rear.
CYa!

I went to (I have Win98) start/settings/control panel/ internet options/advanced. Is that where the options you mentioned are?
