Craig,
Now I remember you and your car at
The Ggod Guys. You were trying to decide whether
to paint or not. My vote is to leave the Patina but
it's your car. Cool job on the springs

I had the winged Pantera next to you guys
Look forward to seeing you again at Thunderhill

Bob

Wow impressive! Great job.

Those anniversary Cobra wheels look great on there, and the RX-7 Turbo Calipers are a killer bang for your buck setup

Big old stack of new Falkens mounted and balanced. They look a little small compared to the 315's.

Little bit of restoration and crash repair.

And some new upper control arm cross shafts.

Where'd you get the Falcon's at?

I got em at Big'O Dublin, had to wait a week, 315's and 275's, (18's), but nobody seems to have these protouring sizes...."Im over by the airport, part of town u in?

Looks like someone is getting ready for paint?
Before Optima??

I picked them up from discount tires direct took 4 days for processing and shipping. I'm off of El Caminito so not too far from you.

How could I forget Pantera Bob? Good to put a face with a car. No paint before Optima. Hoping to get it back to the body shop next month to finish having the rear tail light panel pulled Then paint in April.

can mix you up a batch

Look forward to seeing you again at
Thunderhill

Finally got it back on the scales. Got pretty lucky, don't need to add any ballast, just a tick over 3200 with 5 gallons of fuel. 20 gallon tank so no worries.

50.4% cross weight was as close as I was willing to get with me in it.

I am a thermostate housing gasket away from being ready to race. See you guys next weekend.

Oh, and Bangshift did an article on my build: http://bangshift.com/bangshiftapex/p...ty-perfection/
It was a total shock, never contacted me, but hey any press is good press.
