    She looks great! Congratulations on finishing up someone else's build; you did a great job!

    Black is a great color for these cars, and yours looks great as well.

    Like some others have said, the big sidewalls on those tires is a classic look for these cars.

    I only have one complaint; you can't get by with only one picture!! We need to see some more of your hard work! Show us the interior, the engine, some more exterior pics, etc. Bring on some more pics!!

    Congratulations again!

    Regards,

    Steve

    Looks fantastic

    I have to ask about how that rear tire to body clearance is working out?

    my plan is to have the rear narrowed, I think there is at least 2" of clearance. I've talked to Moser and wouldn't be to expensive. For time being I'm running heavy springs on rear.
