Everything is Straight, Squared & Leveled. Nobody breath.........

I've been clampin', puullin', pushin', clippin', strappin', jackin' measurin', measurin' ,measurin' ,measurin' ,measurin' most of the afternoon. Get one thing right another... moooooves

Right now the rear pan is dead on. So, I think I'll make mounts to anchor it & the bumper in place. But maybe only tacked in place....

Ya' just never know with this thang'.

But hey, it's a G-R-E-A-T day to be spendin' time in the shop with the door open & the radio playin & the phone out of ear shot.

Looking great, ProZ! Man, you do great work. That car looks awesome, and it ain't even finished yet...that's when you know you've got a winner...anyway, I've been meaning to ask about the treads on your rear tires. They aren't slicks...they don't even look like "cheater" slicks, either...please humor me with as brief an explanation as I can be allowed...I expected slicks back there...but there must be a reason for those tires...and Doc, that's cool. We will welcome your buddy and his NFC and appreciate him being here! Cheers, WC1

They are Hoosier ''Quick Time'' tires WC. From what I've been told they were designed to run in street class (since they have tread they are DOT legal street tires). They are a soft compound tire like slicks, so their "street life" will be short lived.

I bought them mainly for mock up since I got a good deal on them from a guy up in St. Charles. Eventually I'll get some slicks for the 'ol "Z".
