How tall of a front tire do you need? I've got a new set of Goodyear Frontrunners, 4.5X25X15, D2981 is the pn...

Looks like you've been busy! How many tools have you tossed across the shop so far?

Nice job on the dash, I like it !

the hoosiers on the new wheels are 23"and just too short with my wetsump pan.i dont know if 25"would work or not.the little radials i been running are almost 26".when i get it back on the wheels again i'll have a better look at it.

none the last thing i tossed was a little tube i was try'n to tig.it melted and so did i....it bounced off the only thing on that side of the room that mattered,the driver door.

thanks Dave i should have it in soon.i painted the top part black so the bling would'nt blind me.

about ready to set it on the ground! i got this nice battery cable from a 540bmw i junked

Nice!

i sure got tired of turning 4-link bars too many adjustments make it hard for a dumbass like me to get things squared up.

Looking good Lee

i just used photobucket on YB but never tried it here

ok... safety shit too... water pump still worked ok

This thing will crank like a mofo! put the headers on,fuel in,primed the oil and it fired up!

The door sills and the dash are nice touches.

now put the tires on and do a burnout.......

I can't figure out how you guys find the time ( not to mention the money ) to build a car like that.. My car was already built and I can't get the time to finish putting the engine back in it.. Anyway, keep up the good work. The car is top notch.

Hell I even work on um during my lunch hour......
