When do the big tires go on?

I think I am going to try it out on the 275's. Wheels will be 3 piece, if I decide I want to flare it I will just be outer hoops, tires and flares away from 315's. I am pretty sure its going to be faster than the truck was so I will have a lot to learn about this thing once its on the track.

**** Talker.....

Been dicking around with it a little bit this week, has enough fluids in it to turn the key over but get no start, no fuel or ignition so we think we have something either with VATS or PASSKEY still enabled. Got a new tune I will load tonight and see if that works to get us fire.

Fuel system got all filled and bled out at the rails so should fire up pretty quick once we get it worked out. Even filled and bled the power steering system.

No Idea how he did it but the Upholstery guy got these done in 4 days. They are not perfect but they are damn good!!! THese are real leather hides with custom stitching on the back piece. Seams are all black thread and a double french stitch added to the outer seams. Very classy looking seats in my opinion.









I am going to do all the insert and foam work on the door panels and have him do the stitching and glue up on them. The plan is to match the pleat pattern on the seats on the 2 door cards the rear sail panel pieces then come up with something for the rear seat area. I am thinking something mid 80's porsche interior is what is in my pea brain. Roll Bar will be painted satin same color as the seats.

Carpet has been shipped. Gotta figure out some seat belts now and get some tubing ordered for the roll bar.

Moving along, test drive could be in a few weeks if all goes well.
