It's a Monster and a Tin can. It's wild. I have only driven it around the neighborhood and down to the store but the big block resonates so deep, it takes your breathe away. It set my neighbors car alarm off while in his closed garage. I needed this in my life so bad.
I have noticed a few "seller" things, in the engine bay he painted anything that was dirty (Hell I have done that lol) and he put tiny rear tires on a 10" wide rear wheel with air shocks. I'm sure there's a story/issue with that but I'm excited to figure it out.
If I remember correctly, the truck tire shop I had install my 35's said, beads work better for Mud tires because they are so internally inconsistent and the balance changes more often than your standard Street or A/T tire. Old beads were trash but the new ones work great. Also he said if you have a set of wheels and tires that don't play well together with traditional balancing, adding beads can dial it in if you have a vibration at only a specific MPH. (so using both types of balancing together)
I told them to do conventional weights first and if it was too out of wack, go with the beads but mine balanced out with minimal weights. (I didn't want stacks of weights)
You can buy beads online and use them yourself without a machine and that really has an appeal. Just measure what you need and pour them in.

How well do the TPM sensors live with the beads?
I understand that usually the beads are just inside the tread area but at low speeds it seems that would be flying all around.

Not sure. It seems like TPMS sensors don't really last as long as they used to anymore anyway. I don't see how they would get in the way though. Most of them are pretty tight and low profile against the wheel.
At one point it was called charcoal black. But I'm fairly certain that it changed names along the way, which may also be a slightly different color.
Thanks, I bought some gray trim paint, and it was way off.
I called him and he said he used a charcoal metallic but can't remember which one.
We are going to paint it all the way around the car, and he is bringing the paint.
Also plates and insurance, So I might drive it to class this week.
I went and helped pull the blower motor out of the Camaro today.
Got it running and posted a video, and it sold right away.
