Bryan lives about 1/2 mile from me so I assume we could fine a place close by to get into trouble.

Congrats on approaching the finish line. Good choice on the wheels also. I think they will look great!

Did someone say trouble? I like trouble! If you guys decide to meet for drinks or what not I would love to join. Always looking for new car people in the area. I live just south of 290 and South Lamar.

You're just around the corner. Sounds like to certainly need to grab some beers soon. Should also meet up for cars and coffee on April 6. I hear the Discovery channel will be there.


I have done a few more things to the car. After looking at the cars at the USCA event I decided the rear seat needed to go. I pulled the factory rear panel out and installed a a flat sheet. I need to decide what to do with the factory floor seam. Most likely I'll cut this out too but wanted to test with it in place first.

I also plumbed all the brake lines and routed the parking brake cables.

The biggest issue was the front inner fenders. They aren't pretty but they now clear the wheels...at least I hope they do. I'll find out tonight.

Do you know where you'll get the tires mounted? I had mine done at the Discount Tire in Lakeway. It was a haul, but was the only place I found that had the machine which holds the wheel in the center instead of on the lip. Had them road-balanced there also...

Look forward to seeing them!

I went ahead and had Tire Rack send the tires to Formula 43 and they mounted them for me. When they get here today they will be ready to put on the car. I was too nervous letting a local tire shop mount them for the first time. Good to know Discount in Lakeway can do them next when I where these out.
