Got the new oil pan on and started a rough fitting of the engine. This is going to be interesting with the A/C condenser and alternator on the bottom....

Well, I haven't reported anything new for a while....but I finally have some to report.

First off, I have a few things on the way. Rear wheels will be here tomorrow. Rear tires will be here Friday. New engine mount plates (moving the engine back 3") will be here Friday. MGW shifter will be here Friday (short throw and moving the sifter 3-4" forward from the GTO location). Vintage Air system shipping out Thursday.

Rear tires I ended up with:
345/30r18 g-force t/a drag radials


Rear wheels:
Boyd Coddington SOB 18x12. 5.5" bs


Art Morrison rear clip installed. Ford 9" assembled (brakes and all). Axle under the back

Tires got here Friday, mounted over lunch, and bolted under the car after work. Rolled the car onto the trailer and took it to the shop for final body work and paint. Planning on doing gloss black, no rally stripes. I'm happy with these 345's under there!
