I sure hope it gets finished in the next few years, with some luck the body and paint may be finished later this year. Then the real fun begins, trying to put it all together and detailing it!
It was supposed to go in to the media blaster this week, I haven't heard if it is there though.
I bought those Cragars not long after getting the car, I knew T/A's came with 15x7 wheels, so I got a pair that size from the speed shop. Took them over to Firestone to get a couple G60's. They called me a little later and said there was a problem. Something about my new wheels being "positive offset" and not fitting in the wheelwells. They said I could get shackles or air shocks to make the new wheels and tires work.
I went with air shocks. Sometimes I would feel the tires scraping the wheel well lip when I'd hit bumps in the road, then I'd have to head over to the gas station and pump a few more pounds into the airshocks for more clearance!
