on that first pic in post # 1.. you are missing something.. that goes in between the License plate and that pretty shiny thing...
OH Yeah! The car!
Sounds like a lot of fun work.. Congrats to the recipient of that ride.
Do you have the donor car yet?
Sorry, you can't use mine.. it hasn't arrived yet.
Can you give us some details on what the car will have in it?
I am interested in your tire/wheel/brake ideas. Are you replacing the rotors/brakes with something else to get a smaller dia tire?
What are you using for rear gears? Transmission?
