Looking at 19 by 11 CCWs. Got one with a 305 tire for a test fit. Pretty noticeable difference over the 295's

Will you have to tub the car to get the 305s in there? I thought I read somewhere that these cars can't handle a wide tire.

Pulling the 9 inch for some upgrades. Also pulling the T-56 to freshen it up. We are building a TH400 for Drag Racing and will probably build a 4L80E for a more permanent solution.

Had a good night. Cut on the under bracing for the hood. Should be ready to cut the top for fitment tomorrow.









I dinged it up a little but was basically pleased with the work.

I really appreciated the help too.

Measuring and masking it off, had removed some of the subbracing Friday.



Initial cuts are well inside what we expected the ultimate dimensions were. Kept the cuts small and closed the hood frequently to judge measurements.





Really couldn't decide about covering or leaving out in the open until we saw what we had to work with when we got it to close. I will be looking to see what it would take to cover the blower and intake.

Next major hurdle was the intake and Throttlebody. Inexperienced worker was a barrier, a few unnecessary dings and scratches






And here is the hood closed, next stop body shop
