A fine job indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This thread is a great testament to your build, I wonder if you could get it all printed in color and bound like a book - wouldn't that be cool???
I just did my seats and headliner is half in. It sure is hard to get the seats smooth - the original bucks must shrink, plus the PUI covers are crap! I had to send 2 sets back and send them photo's of the original covers before they could make them right....you'd think....  The headliner is scraing me  - I don't want to put the glue on! I got a friend with some experience coming to help me next weekend, hopefully I can get it as tight as yours!
Let's see some smokin' tire pics now!!!

Thanks for the great comments guys, hang in there E-tek & Hemi.  It takes lots of time & cash to get them finished but it sure is nice to see them come back to life.

Beautiful.  Shouldn't have any problem with flow there.

Hey, what size tires are you running?  I like the stance from the back.

P275-60-15 on the back and I think P215-65-15 on the front, gives it a nice rake without air shocks!

Awesome looking car!!  Now all you have to do is try to keep yourself from having a meltdown the first time you hear stones bouncing off the undercarriage.  Not a bad problem to have. :burnout:

I am convinced that if I look at those pics long enough, I will find a smudge or light layer of dust somewhere.  Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!   :droolingbounce:

I may go with that set up as well.  I do like the look and stance.  I assume 7" wheels on there, correct?
