Hi CamaroPat ...
Thanks for the nice words and the tires are Kumho Ecsta XS (treadwear 180). They're an excellent street tire that can serve double duty for autocross as well. While they're not as sticky as R-comps, they're perfect for the GoodGuys autocrosses. I've got 255's on the front (17x8) and 285's on the rear (17x9.5).
My '73 is about 90% Hotchkis TVS and tubular arms are next on the list. I chose Hotchkis back in 2002 when I started with the build and the products are excellent. I also really like that there are no surprises as the car's quite predictable and very confirmed in it's job. It gives awesome feedback and is compliant which is exactly what you want for a fun, well mannered, street car.
If you're ever in Northern California, PM me ahead of time and I'll take you for a fun ride.
Cheers,
Mary Pozzi
