Couple of pictures of wheel fitment, 335/30/18, 18x12 Fikse Profil 13, little tight but the outter wheel house and quarters can be trimmed back and reshaped , one quarter is factory GM and ones a replacement, supposedly the best on the market when I bought it long ago, both areas are really wide,

yes it is, I wasn't going to do it, and the metal work was done before it was popular, but, after I saw a couple of cars I knew I want to do it, I'm hoping to get everything rolling here, rear, paint, etc...........

Was looking at the car yesterday, since I'm waiting on someone else, I'm going to finish up the DSE tubs, DSE subframe connectors, ordered the DSE trunk corners, also got down out off the loft the Rick tanks gas tank, and the radiator core support, and the Griiffen LS radiator might as well start the mock up on these parts,

Pics to follow,

Sorry man, looks the same, been working on the unseen stuff, wiring, hole through the firewall, with a grommet, trying to keep it tidy, Then bolting on parts, the radiator, and the core support, Then on the back end, got the DSE trunk corners, and new big Torino bearing ends for the rear-end, , Ricks tank is off the Loft, and the Griffin Radiator Got a ton of parts off the Loft and put them on shelves near the car and clean up the loft and the shelves,

Had a whole other bunch of life stuff go on, its a test, and I'm going to pass, not worried,

A little here and there, supposed to be getting a new Miller 215 mig/tig, it sticks also, Waiting for my friend to bring it over,

Thats my report, good thing, at least I havent sold it or parted it out!

It's the harness used to connect the Holley ECM.
