I agree with Eric. Those are some cool colors. Should look really nice. Keep us posted.

Gonzo, the car is looking great. If you haven't purchased the tires yet, you can definitely go with wider rubber on our chassis. We have been running Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. On the front, you can easily run a 275/35R18 and on the rear, I would run a 345/30R19. Just my 2 cents based on what we have found to perform the best.

Thank you for the compliment! When we mini tubbed the car, the customer did not want me to cut to much into the structure that would mess with convertible top frame coming down.. We only moved the inner wells 2 inches in for tire clearance.. I remember that when I ordered the chassis you mentioned that 345 in the rear & the 275 were the biggest tires we could run underneth the car.. Also customer wanted me to fill out as much of the wheel well opening as possible, so this why we are going with the tire combination I have listed.. Did not want to go bigger than 19/18 diameter wheels!
