Another long time owner of a car. 30 plus years. Looking good!

Make sure you finish school first. There is always time later to complete the car.

I will finish school...its tough but necessary. I am getting my bachelors in Mechanical Engineering so that I have the degree to design suspension and what not. Not sure where I want to get a job, but as long as it has to do with cars I will be happy. My projects have for sure made it easier to keep going to school because I want to understand everything about them and working on them helps keep me sane

Its probably about time for an update here. I havent made a ton of progress with the car. I got it back on the road after it hibernated while I finished school and paid off the loans. I tried on some wheels and tires this last weekend that just confirmed that its time to update the look of the car. Im leaning towards more of an old school look for the car, most likely Vintage Wheel works V45 or V48 wheels in 17x9 front with 275-40-17 and 17x11 rears with 315-35-17 tires. The rears in these pictures are 315s. I need to figure out how to photoshop the V48s on the car so i can see which ones I like better.

I think the bead blasted 5 spokes are an improvement over the wheels that are on it now.
