I think I posted somewhere in this thread already - here is the almost finished, all built in my garage except for the alignment and the tailpipes. I'm not 100% on the paint, so I'll continue working on finishing up everything else and then revisit. I may end up repainting some or all of it down the road.

Thanks - I actually based my tire sizes off of the Camaro you used to own. I think I can actually go a little wider in the rear since I rolled in the edges - 295/35/18?

Possibly. Might run a little. The Bucket had Nittos on it. They have a fairly straight sidewall. Can't tell what you have on the car.

Very proud to say this is almost 100% garage built. It would be easier to list what I have not done, than what I have.

Farmed out the transmission rebuild, the upholstery and the exhaust. The rest has all been me in my garage with my two hands. Well, the paint was done in a borrowed booth, but still by me.

Almost done, just waiting for the upholstery shop next month.

They are Sumitomo HTRZ II - 285/35/18. I narrowed the rear end and tried to get the wheels as centered as possible in the wheel wells.

My '71 was done entirely in the garage. I'll share some pics of the complete mess from the Power Tour thrash later.
