Ring and pinion is pretty easy too, little bit of paint and a magnetic based depth gauge and that's not too difficult.

Either way, I'd do it all myself. And if it breaks, then you know what to do to take it apart and fix it, and if you did it wrong, you'll see what not to do again.

Internally, the motor is cam only. Still using the stock bottom end and factory cylinder heads. Bolt ons are fine.

If I may ask where at? Car looks great hope mine looks half as good.

If I may ask what size rear tire is that and the offset of the wheels, they look perfect.

I got my fronts through my work, but you can buy Greg Weld Dragstars through Summit Racing, but I believe they are around 150.00 there.

The rears are 15x10 Weld Prostars with 7.5" backspace with 325/50/15 M/T ET Street Radials.

Did you have to do any work to fit the rears in there?

Cowl trimming is almost done. Pulled the intake to teflon all the lines, mount the TB and bolt it on in a few minutes!

Well I'm starting to piece together a fuel system for the car. I have my A1000 pump, with both filters on the way. Using a -10 feed line & -8 return. I need to get the Bypass regulator and a steel tank to sump.

Looks good... how's the rear lowered? I'd love to get my car down on the rear tires like you've got that one... did you roll your rear fenders?
