Looking very nice. Congrats.
 
Great pictures! I especially like the tires with those wheels. What are the specs on the tires?
 
Stock eh! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/devilgrin.gif Nice work. Real clean and neat.
 
The wheels are 13"x5.5" aluminum not sure what brand, that we got off of Ebay. The tires are Sumitumo 175/50/13's
 
What is the extra rod across the top of the engine opening against the fire wall for. Also see some bits of the same on the side.

If that was not understandable I will try harder.
 
The engine compartment certainlly looks clean. Clean like a show car and very nicely finished. I like the empty look that comes from no wiring, cables, pipes etc. I was actually considering myself running the wiring under the panels in the engine compartment.

I think those bars Jack mentioned, on the top and the two on the sides are for holding a FG bonnet in place. True?

The firewall has been replaced with flat metal, as is the battery box. It therefore doesn't look usable for the street. No heater, wiper motor wiper arm holes, windshield washer. OK, I understand not needing a heater, but it does rain in GA and I'm sure the inspection people want to see wipers. Don't they?
 
Correct Don its for the fiberglass front end. We smoothed the firewall Hot Rod style, it makes everything nice and clean. The car is not wired yet but the wiring will be run as tidy as possible. The motor was put in for test fitting the blower and to make sure we had clearence for the Tiltan setup. Thanks for looking. Chris
 
Really , really nice. You will love the SC. Yeaterday I took my wife on a trip to Topeka. On the 2 lane road I had several cars I wanted to pass, and it was mearly a matter of putting the foot down. Do you have the 5 speed for the BE.
 
Just an opinion, please take it as such. With the ribcase, you'll definitly will want to go with the 3.9 rear end, and serioulsy consider the 3.7. I think you could drift with the 4.22 and stock tires. Start looking for the 5 speed, one might turn up. Enjoy...
