Starting to get the engine together and make some decisions on the trans. I'm thinking this car may just go 4 speed with something stupid strong. I've had two cars with Magnum T56s and while it's an awesome trans, I prefer the "chunk chunk" of the old 4 speeds. It's also far lighter, smaller, and I'll probably hardly ever drive it on the freeway. Rear gear looks like it's gonna be 3.89s or 3.73s. Engine should go 9000+ RPM.

The barrels are finished in a brushed stainless powder that gives em sort of a pearl appearance. I needed something easy to clean as the spokes get tight out on the edges.

More to come!
