Just the right amount of "tweaking" !

nice! all the visual changes your making are all the things that first jumped out to me as being "ugly" on the car right now especially those side engine covers with the louvers... i hate those.and you know i LOVE stacks!!!! should look real bad azz when done.

Great! Glad you guys like the ideas...

I didn't want to repaint the whole car -- it has a whopping 600 miles on it... and the paint and bodywork is flawless... but I thought the wheels and stance sucked.... and I just can't do "carbs" --- and the 6 speed would never get into 6th - even with 4:88's -- which would make the rest of the gears suck... so why bother! LOL

The interior will get "square weave" carpet... and the dash will be re-done and higher quality. The engine turned bit is some kind of cheapazz plastic wannabe stuff... and I wanted a small console for my coffee cup... so we'll do a key fob style push button starter in the console... and Steve restores old style heaters so we'll add one of those - even though they're mostly useless in a roadster.

I'm thinking the new license plate should be: REDEUCE

I like it and those wheels are perfect I think.

But not sure why swapping out the T56 for the TKO? just because of 6th? or you want that shorter first gear?
