All wrapped up and ready to head home...

So she's back in my garage...next plan....order brakes and get those mounted in front....measure for my rims and get those ordered.

Once I get those, then measure and order my rearend.

While I'm waiting for parts etc, I was planning on adding some additional supports for the frame to triangulate it in a few areas....notching the rear tubs so I can lower my rear windows all the way......decide on a trans... I'm now thinking of a T56 magnum and see if that will fit... I may need to change the tunnel....figure out my mufflers... I may raise them into the floor to get them up high.

MuscleRodz has a Hydroboost and the new PS and overflow tanks coming to me soon, so I'll get those all mounted up...

And tons of other stuff....

Marty -- You stole my idea -- I was going to ask Ned if he needed my wheel and tire sizing tool...
Glad someone is getting one to him -- he's going to squeeze every last mm of tire in there!!

:>)

Did Tim make the tank also? I know someone who could use one...

Thanks guys...

Greg... thanks for the offer on the Wheel fit tool....Marty has me covered..... I will mooch your AC fitting compressor and Fuel/brake line flare tool when the time comes

The tank is a Ricks tank.... Tim just made the new mounts. We had talked about Tim making the tank, but the bottom line is that its hard for a smaller fab shop to compete on price for an item like that. We could have customized it alittle more for my particular car, but in the end it would have been more expensive and would have eaten time that Tim could be doing something else on the car. So I just decided to go with a Ricks tank.
