Paul, if you're looking for something to complete your project let me know. I'd like to return the favor for the grills you sent me.

Jeff, how about a few thousand dollars.....................I'm just kidding! However, Thanks very much for your offer and I will keep you in mind. I have all of the interior purchased just needs to be built and installed. Still trying to decide which wheels..came with ralley one's and this is the way I'm leaning as of now....but I do like the Craiger SS wheels. Than there's the glass and all of mine should be replaced but I'm having a very difficult time source them. How's your car doing??

Merry Christmas, Paul

Default Finally home and in the garage..............

not finished but that's ok as long as it's home. However, I did get to try out that P-Dude 535 power plant and all I got to say is WOW!!! It showed no mercy to those little 245/60 radials. Just rolling along at 20 -30mph....crack the throttle and instant tire smoke! Even though the car is still not finished...my short ride and that one or two cracks of the throttle made me forget about all of the money and headaches that I've encountered to get this far!!!! LOL

Paul,
This is where I got my glass from. http://www.autocityclassic.com/index...=420&Itemid=41 The tinted glass matches the stock glass perfectly. And, they will bring it to the Moultrie Swap meet in February which would save on shipping

For extra money they can do the correct LOF codes too.

I bought a windshield and passenger side rear quarter glass. The quarter is installed and fits like the original. I haven't had the windshield installed yet. Still waiting on paint!!
I am not sure but they may have a package deal. Won't hurt to ask.

Thanks for the info Phil! I already have a new windshield installed. I'll give them a call for the remainder!

Thanks Paul.....I was going to go with Cragers but changed my mind at the last minute. Ralleys I's originally came on the car! Had these powdered coated using Eastwood's Ralley Wheel Sliver not argent silver.

Paul, I read in your other post about these being 15" wheels, so where did you get the BFG's?

I ended up buying them at a local tire store chain. I was gonna get them at TireRack, but they matched the price exactly.

Paul, I was actually asking the other Paul because he may have just got his. I haven't been able to find any 14s or 15s locally.

Thanks
Dominic

Dominic,

The front is on jack stands right now. It "appears" I will have right around 1" to 1 1/2" of clearance! I went with a 225 60 up front with a 7" wheel. However, I have coil overs up front and I can adjust the ride height correctly.

Paul
