    I'm most likely going with grabber yellow or viper blue w/black side stripping and mach 1 hood scheme. Wheels are still up in the air, possibly powdercoating the greg welds black

    Were the Mach I seats in when you bought it? I have a set also but the early seat tracks don't bolt up like i thought. Please document the shifter install...I'll be doing that someday.:clap:

    Wheels are "greg weld, drag star" wheels. They no longer make the wheel under greg weld, some one else bought the rights of the wheels since Gregs passing. Fronts are 15x3 w/ 1.75 BS, rears 15x7 w/4 BS fit 275-60 15's w/ older style Dunlop GT qualifiers in that photo. They were for sale locally, but i think i'll powder coat them and put them on.

    If you go on summit they actually have some of the Greg weld wheels still available, the company went under or sold due to the onwer passing away, but some companies still have the wheels in stock
