The wheels were a straight up trade for my stock wheels. I'm thinking of running a 305 or a 315 in the rear. I'll have to raise the car a bit, but should give me what I need when its on the track.

Great choice in wheels. Looks like you scored a rare set. Matches the car/era perfectly I think.

awesome build. I would really love to have one of these hybrids, love the body, love the engine.

I'm going to have to buy one because I can't do all that custom stuff myself.

For handling i would think its much better due to less sidewall flex.

It looks like the tires are going to rub like crazy IMO going around turns at full blast.

Great build, one of my all time favorite cars. I am always looking on craigslist wishing it was in the budget.

Thanks for the compiments.. I will have to raise the car some, but for now... it looks ok. I was unhappy with the first couple of housings I built for the head lights and fog lights so I rebuilt them. I built a vaccu form machine so I could pull lenses to make them look more factory. I finally got a transmission, and wire harness so I should be making progress very soon. I want it to be on the road by July.
