A shame to hide all that work underneath. Maybe you need to carry around some mirrors in the trunk, so you can lay them on the ground when you park it somewhere?

I've actually been thinking about the possibility of 18"/19" steelies with dog dish hubcaps. Heck there are OEM steelies in that size.

When I sent Phil my dry sump to mock up the motor and build the mounts he said I'd be better off with the car being upside down.

I want the car to look like a 60s muscle car. Sure the low stance and wheels will give it away as not stock but I am not looking for obvious bling. To me the beauty of the chassis will be in the way the car rides, stops and corners while appearing to not even be there. :D If somebody is really that intrigued they can stoop down and look underneath.

Love it!


I don't really have the "personality" to hang out at parking lot car shows... there's always some guy that comes over and asks "hey - mind if I look at your car"? I always want to reply -- NO! Ya DipStick.... that is why the car is at a car show isn't it? OMG... <sounding like a Valley girl>


I like the steelies and dog dish! Oh yeah! The ol' sleeper look... I always did like cars done that way.

Maybe I do a street set of 18" steelies with some smaller tires like 255 40 18 and 285 40 18.
