Backspacing won't help for the rear the axle is a custom length. Th front is a 5" and the front fender is flared 3/4".

I wish... Slight set back with the negative temps in Kentucky lately. To expensive to heat the garage and do the final touches on bodywork. This weekend I'll hopefully get the chance to knock some work out. Been busy trying to find a job since they are shutting down the plant. That's got the supercharger on hold.  :flame: I've got the money in the bank to finish the car and can't touch it until I secure a new job. I'm saying my prayers to the Job god that I will find something by the end of April. ( when my contract is done)

I'll post some progress shots soon ...I hope

That's me... Thanks It sounds much better now that the motor is tuned and the 3" exhaust are on it.

Thanks hope I'll find something soon and be able to start updating the build again.

Finally started my new job last week. I can stop sitting on the pile of money in the bank. I've ordered the F1A blower for the car, Gear vendors overdrive unit, 99% of the interior, and got quotes for re-chroming the taillights turn signal housings etc. Now I just need to finish building my Mom and Dads house in the next three weeks and I can start putting the goodies on Dyno tune it and pull it all back apart and finish the Bodywork for paint in the Fall. This will leave the winter for putting the car together for the last time.  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
