Are those sumitomo tires directional? My HTR Z-IIs are directional tires. So I can't rotate them side to side.

I wasn't really sure about the wheels before, but I'm pretty darn positive I'm liking them now. From that angle, though, they look like they stick out past the fenders. Just the angle of the pic, or the hanging suspension playing tricks on my eyes? Or are you going to have to add flares?

And have you decided on a color yet for the car?

I wouldn't use those jackstands either.

Get some like this.

I actually have 2 pairs like this and then 1 pair of larger ones for my F150. They have come in handy on the 65 too.

If you paint the MDS box black except for the fins it will match your valve covers.

Your brake install looks nice.?

No offense, but I don't care for the modern style wheels on the classics. It just doesn't look right.

For modern style wheels they do look nice though.

Great looking project and you're making a lot of progress. Have you decided on the color? We're all anxiously waiting.

Yes, I want to do the lime gold matellic with either black stripes or grey strips to match the wheels... but still thinking...
