Looks good.

Do you still have the old set of 17" wheels?

G-Force installed the rear, roll bar and painted the underside.

A friend and I are responsible for the front suspension fab.

My dad and I painted the firewall and subframe in my garage.

They were sold a while ago. I still need to order the new fronts, but that isn't top priority at the moment.

Some random pics from the recent reassembly process.

Motor/trans dropped in

Lug nut selection... You guys feel free to comment on which you'd prefer as I would love your input. The hub pad on the wheels is rather thick. The lug nut on the right is longer than a standard open ended unit. The one on the left is an off the shelf piece from race shop.

Thanks! For now, I am sticking with the vintage SCCA Trans Am theme. May end up with track rubber later on and if that is the case, I am getting something light. However, I will still keep the Minilite reps for the street.

Ok, almost to the end of the most current pics.

Here are the wheels mounted. The back of the car is overexposed in some of these to attempt to expose the wheels (needed another flash :( ).

It is funny, with no contrast in this pic, the 335's look kinda narrow.
