American racing torq thrust II's 18X10....... I painted the centers black and made the custom cf center caps.

Nice project. That motor is going to be sweet in that car. Those wheels look good on there.

Nice! I've always loved that bodystyle. They're like a 7/8 scale A-Body! It's killer to see one get the treatment! Great work!

I wish I had the extra money to put some rated X's on it. Sweet wheels with black centers.
The only problem with building a 63 TEmpest is that they are on year only and there is no aftermarket parts. I have to build everything for it . Thats also the fun part about building it.

Ooh! That would look evil but getting it on the road and making forward progress is more important!

Looks like a pretty solid body so hopefully you aren't having to make too much stuff from scratch but you're off to a helluva start. Keep up the good work!

I get a chubby everytime I see our customers building cars that are faster than mine. Maybe he'll let me drive...?

Is the chassis jig a 2x2 square frame?

I guarantee you can drive this thing. It's definitely going to be a handful.

Yes the chassis jig is 2X2 The bodys getting ready to come off and go onto a rotissirie.

Finally back to work on this thing. I keep getting side tracked with other projects. I painted the underside and chassis. Time to starl slapping mud on it. I did get Rated X rushforths for it. More pics to come. I decided to put an all aluminum smallblock chevy in it now...External oil pump....421 CI.
