Got my new rear tires mounted on the rims and put them on the car today. Their going to look great on this car! I bought BF Goodrich P255/70R15s for the rear. They are 29 inches tall. Their goinna fill the wide fenders nicely. The fronts are 8 inches wide and the backs are 10 inches wide. Its gonna give the car a nice rake I think. Still have to finish the frontend work to see though. Had some problems with the frontend on the 30th so I had to order some parts. Hope to have the frontend back on the ground by the 13th or so. I worked on the dash area today. Skuffed it so I could paint it and sprayed it with rattle can paint. Its satin black with bronze flecks in it. I like the look when the light hits it. Sprayed all around the windshield frame too. Also worked on my door panels. I'm making them out of 20Ga steel. I wanted to get the aluminum ones but opted for making my own.(trying to keep the cost of this car down...lol. like thats gonna happen!) I like the look I have so far. Think I might distress them and then have them pin striped later. Still not sure yet. With the doors closed you can't roll the windows down!( the 6 point roll cage is in the way!) I have an idea for fixing this. I'm going to mount a socket to the handle shaft with a set screw and use small ratchets! Should be different...lol. Maybe also replace the pulls with small combination wrenches too. Will have to bend and fab on 'em but I think it will look sweet. Thats it for now. I will try and update more timely. I only have 3 weeks left to get this car ready for the show so check back soon...lol. I'm glad to know I have people watching my progress. Thanks for your support. Bugratt.
