Thanks guys! I'm really happy with how the interior turned out...the pics don't really do it justice

Couple more pics. Starting the engine mock-up....hopefully in the next couple weeks i'll have the smoothy firewall mounted with wiring and maybe some plumbing hidden behind there. Also mounted up my extra wheels just to see how they look....I think I like the grey BRMs better

usually i prefer sprintstars over brms....but those grey brms suit your car so well. it's got a very cool retro/old school look with the brms.

your car looks great gerry...very inspirational.

the sprintstars are 5\" rims.....the Brms...i can't remember...somthing tells me 5.5's but I coul be wrong..they could be 5's....they are the earlier replicas with textured finish where the new ones are painted smooth.

Good tire choice for the street.  Now you'll be able to have a nice steady ride at high speeds on the HWY and drive around some nice twisties with comfort.
