Hell yeah!! Now that is cool. Kind of like taking the doors and top off on a jeep, but that's bringing it to the next level. LOL, jk. Car is looking good, keep us updated.

They are Fikse FM5's. 18x8.5f 18x12r

Thanks guys, I'm really getting excited about getting it finished. My buddy TJ took those pictures yesterday. I need to mount the a/c condensor and a few other things, hopefully get all that done today, then off to the body shop. My body shop guy said he will need it for about a week, then back to me to finish the interior!

HAHAHA Heck yeah!!! Im sure glad im not the only person driving cars around like that! That reminds me of about 2 weeks ago. The mustang doesnt have any floors and I drove it up and down the driveway. used a creeper as a seat. :lmao:
Congrats SW! Just imagine how fast it would be like that. Ultra weight reduction. :icon996:

All,

The car looked awesome going down the road.. The exhaust system was about 30 minutes old and sounded great. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of it but you couldn't have sand-blasted the grin of SW's face when he got back from his drive.

Keep watching this one.. it's gonna be killer :)

That's what I'm talkin' about!!! Now you know why I am so damned bent on getting an aluminum motor and glass/CF front end parts. I drove my 71 Camaro across town just like that, no frontend other than the rad support and I loved the quick and light feeling at my fingertips. I hope you got to memorize the steering input feeling wihtout all of the weight on the front, you will miss it! Sweet car, guess you need to offload one of the other's to make room???

We need to go to Texas: Apparently No laws against driving any "car" or work in progress and No laws about SW having the most bad ass collection of muscle.

Looks awesome, keep the pics coming.
