most of the pics are from a year ago. right now practically the whole car is bare metal and most of the metal work is done. the pics of the tire is me trying to see how big of a tire i can fit under the stock rear end. thats a 295 from a magnesium z06 rim

Looks to be a great start bro. I wish I had gotten started at your age. I was into cars at 17, but didn't act upon it. Good luck and your car looks good. Can't wait to see some progress.
