Mounted my new Coker tires. The porta-walls were fine but I needed one tire and couldn't match the other three, so bought these. They took very little weight to balance, and one didn't need any. that makes me think that they are probably quality tires.

Bought a set of ram horn exhaust manifolds for $50.

will do.going to try to get it home sunday.it's in really bad shape.i build wrecks everyday so i can do the metal and paint but the frame choices are going to take some head scratching.it's all original except the engine but he's got two 235(?) engines for it.i'm wanting to find another factory frame(just can't bring myself to cut the factory frame,feelings run to deep) and do a mustang 2 front with a ls engine.

Chassis Engineering has a bolt in IFS for the AD no cutting the frame just new bolt holes to drill.

Wiring, lots of driving around to get extra connectors, wire etc. Pulled the back harness and found the gas tank sender wire is too short, so I called it a night. Also noticed master cylinder number two is weeping a little, I am going to continue pumping it and hope it seals up when I get it running and some heat to the unit. I am not going to replace it until I get this on the road.

Covered it in saw dust from another project.
