Working to finish up the car this week. Most just buttoning everything up, checking all the bolts, running the brake lines, parking brake cables and setting up a temporary exhaust until I swap the engine.

I have the front inner fenders reshaped to clear the wheels but I have to say it's not the best work. Good thing is that it can't be seen. Bad part is, when I get back to having a full shop I will need to redo the work. I now have A LOT of respect for the work people post on this forum.

More importantly my wheels will be arriving next week. Travis sent me over some preview pics that I had to share. I'm excited to see the new look of the car with them mounted up

Decided on the 275/35/18 with 325/30/19 in the Bridgestone RE11. I just hope all my measurements were correct....

Them wheels will look great in the car.

I see you're in Austin. What part of Austin are you located? My sister inlaw lives in N. Austin (Palmer Lane/SH45) and I come up there every other month.

I live just south of the river downtown and work up by Parmer. Let me know when you're in town and we can meet up for a beer or something
