We're still trying to decide which engine to go with. I'll have that answer next week. It should fun to drive! Everyone that comes in the shop goes straight for the Honda.

Sweet project! I love those old Hondas. I vote for a 'busa engine. Maybe turn it 90-degrees under the hood and run a driveshaft to a narrowed IRS, tubbed out with 275's or something!

I have a rendering around somewhere that I was experimenting with. All the above, minus the 'busa motor, and it was a coupe. I still dream of doing it someday...

The owner is really wanting to keep the 10" wheels on the car I think the rims are 3.5" wide. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks.

Builder explains to customer: "My bad, I thought you meant 10-inches wide!"

If I had more time and energy I would have sketched the cartoon to go with that.

I wonder if I can get a tire for a 10"x10" rear wheel?

Seeing that engine dangling there, this just became an interesting build
