Amen to that and I appreciate the kind words! At least the progress is starting to show.

Thx for the input. I'm not sure the tunnel will be all that accessible once the console and infotainment panel are in place. Right now, it's a snap to R&R the engine and trans as a unit. If I install the front section of the tunnel permanently, I'd have to drop the tranny before yanking the engine. I need to get my mind right and make that a problem for future Vic.

I agree on the tire size, I think I've been feeling obligated to fill up the wheel wells after all that work widening them. Lots of choices on the wheel/tire websites. You can spend a bunch of time trying to find a combo that has a decent tread pattern and comes in suitable aspect ratios. I've always preferred a bit taller sidewall, so I've been avoiding 19-20" diameters. I also like a staggered, wider rear tire/wheel setup. It's going to be a while before I actually need them, so I have time to figure out what works.

What were you thinking for fronts (wheel tire sizes)?
