These are new inner sills now bear with me it will all come together.  Lucky i bought a new CNC press to play with. I have had it a month and its worked for 5 days  very pissy waiting for parts from portugal for a 100K press. All fixed now tho and powering along just program an angle and it does it perfect and it has a fully automated back guage so you just type in the fold size and it does it too no more marking out.

Well im on a roll again this morning i couldnt sleep so started at 4am again and got the ashtray finished its going to have boost and RPM in there. I was going to use a commodore vaccum actuator out of the heater . So when the car starts the guages flip out the ash tray. I had to modify the dash a fair bit. Will fit it when the car comes back. I used an old FC half cut i have at home to get the angles so they look directlly at you.   |

Ordered the wheels yesterday 10 week wait was pretty disapointing from the states The price of tyres was ridiculous 285/45/18,s they wanted near $600 each for bridgestone and for Falken directional speed rated 275/40/18,s was $180 a tyre so i know what im running. Plus the hub cap adaptors we have to sort them out  Took another day off work to go and work on the car tommorow cant wait to see the progress. Pete |

Hey Hoon; I'm watching your build with huge interest - it's very educational and innovative  love the rims and the idea of hubcaps; not so sure about the licorice-strap tyres but lets see what they look like on the car first... great work and keep the pics coming cheers, jack |

Thanks very much for the comments
I had to go big to clear the front brakes and they will be powdercoated cream with polished billet outer rim.

Waynos of course it would work.
its all about rolling diameter in your case run a 45series tyre and I think you will find its the same rolling diameter as a stock 13inch rim with 75 series tyres.
My fe has 16s with 45series tyres seems fine.

I tacked it all with the tig checked 5 million times it hadnt moved sprayed all the internals with weld thru primer. Mig welded all together no distortion whatsoever so im very happy with todays efforts. Next will be fuel tank they will help design and im fabricatimg it It will have internal swirl pot and internal pump to prime the big bosch 044 pumps i have. i wont stop till that dyno sheet says 500 RWHP. |
