    not sure if i'm supposed to post pics here but i couldn't figure out how to post them in the gallery:hmmm: its a work in progress. a buddy of mine just did the body work and paint. still gotta fix the driver side floor and tidy up the interior. then throw in some gears and find time to put on gt40p heads and install cam.

    nice car. I like the black treatment on all the trim. The wheels you have now look good, they are different. never seen them before. make sure you put the radiator in before you drive too far.:rolleyes:

    :Welcome:

    the wheels are greg weld wheels. they were on it when i bought it, summit sells them, well at least they did, last time i checked they were all on clearance, so maybe they are discontinued. the rears kinda suck they are 15x8 with 5 inch backspacing so i'm gonna put the 3 inch wheel studs in and try some 3/4 inch wheel spacers. so hard to find 4 on 4 1/2 wheels these days. oh and the radiator is in it. and the car was originally a 200 6 car, it had the v8 swap done already when i got it. i think they used a comet gt for the swap cause i could be wrong but i think thats what the scoop and rear spoiler are off of, and there were a set of comet taillights in the trunk.

    i can see what you were saying about the radiator ryan, since your able to see the crank pulley in the pics it does look like there isn't a radiator in it. kinda odd, maybe its the wrong one.
