What kind of wheels?? The ones I love the most are the Centerline Sundance Series Retro. It's going to be a few months before I can get them though.....

The Sundance wheels look way to busy for my tastes. I'm not a big fan of wheels with too much going on. A simple 5 spoke wheel looks the best to me.
The only negative to a 17" or bigger 5 spoke is the need for bigger brakes cause they show off so much open space.

engine bay so clean...
One day I will have the time to clean mine up. I need to get rid of my rusty intake manifold OR take my brushed wheel to it to clean it up.

Oh I have more planned for the motor and engine bay....and would like to change to black wires and have them cut to length...those were from the TPI so they are just 'making do' for now. I'd really love some orange ones but I guess they don't make them.

I still love it....but the more and more I see it, the more that stock 'ducktail' spoiler starts to bother me....I think with how 'loud' your car is appearance wise, the hi-rise would be an awesome choice.....but I know the one you have is already painted.....it still looks nice

I had thought about the other spoiler but then for some reason I dismissed the idea. Now that the car is done, a few people have mentioned it and I have thought about adding it or would like someone to at least photoshop it on for me. After all, it would just be black so that would be easy enough!

true, you'd only have to two-tone it again if you got the hawks spoiler (which would almost overshadow the hood you have IMO, so dont.......but you would still have to patch up and paint the holes from the side pieces....either way I say check it out on the photoshop board and if it's not too big of a hassle to change - go for it.....she's still a beaut though

car looks good though. did you do the gauges already or did you end up doing wheels first?

Thanks guys! I worked on the design for several months and then it was finalized by the guy that painted it- Dewayne Stiles in Winder, GA- he's THE MAN!
Yellow wires might look more loud than the red- LOL!...better go with black if I can't find the orange (or maybe find someone to cut/fit those nice red ones for me). Most the gauges were on backorder so I'm having to wait. I have 2 now and am waiting on the tach to come off backorder and arrive around the 21st. Then I'll just get the other 3 as I can. I don't really have anyone to install them anyway so until I find someone to do that I'm not in a real rush LOL
