Of course restoring the vintage American 220S took longer than expected. I opened the rear wheel wells 4". Car sits way too high but has no weight yet. It will sit about 2" lower. My friends wife is doing the carpet and head liner. Fire system,dash and gauges are done. Starting on the motor this week. Machining is done, needs paint and assembly.

The tunnel was enlarged so stock carpet won't fit. My friends wife is a trimmer. She does old Rolls Royces with her own patterns. Here's the start of her patterns for mine.

One more. I sure am glad she's doing it. I'd be lost.

Strip only. I can hardly wait to cover the 1/4s in rubber.

Tires are M/T 10.5x15
W. Wheels are American 200S 15x10 3 3/4" back space. I narrowed the axle to fit the tires. It was a 8 lug Dana out of a Ford E350 van.
