      I guess you can call this back from the dead,

      I didn't even know I had a thread here, someone actually told me about it,

      I've changed some things on the car, have 3 adults now, since they are grown, I have time to work on this, try to finish this thing before I'm too old to work on it,

      I'll post some pics as I remember to,

      Couple of pictures of wheel fitment, 335/30/18, 18x12 Fikse Profil 13, little tight but the outer wheel house and quarters can be trimmed back and reshaped , one quarter is factory GM and ones a replacement, supposedly the best on the market when I bought it long ago, both areas are really wide,

      I know this isnt as exciting as all the other cars here and everything I'm doing has been done a thousand times over,

      I actually started building this car as Stielow was building the Red Witch and Larrys car was on the cover of a magazine, but life got in the way, and I raised 3 daughters that are now adults....

      I don't think that is the case. I just lurk here for ideas until I find the right chassis for me and I enjoy every one of these builds. Even if they seem like it isn't anything groundbreaking, there will always be little things you have to overcome that someone else may not have documented or solved the same way.

      I had Larry change the title to this, something more suitable to what the car is about,

      Was looking at the car yesterday, since I'm waiting on someone else, I'm going to finish up the DSE tubs, DSE subframe connectors, ordered the DSE trunk corners, also got down out off the loft the Rick tanks gas tank, and the radiator core support, and the Griffin LS radiator, might as well start the mock up on these parts, pics will follow,

      As I look at the date when I last posted,

      I laugh, since 2021, I now take care of my elderly parents and in laws, lost my father after the last post in 21' and the rest are slowly failing, keeps it interesting and no time, cars still in the same position, bolted on some parts here and there,

      It'll all work out eventually, pick away here and there,

      Good Luck to you! Never give up. Remember even an hour a week will add up. Hope to see you and your car at an event soon!

      Thanks, I'm not, got my shop cleaned out from all my fathers stuff, so I'm back to getting under it and measuring the rear end and get it moving again,
