Back on the ground
I forgot what it looked like without jackstands growing out of it. Went down to see Jeff Schwartz last night because my wheels finally came in from Kinesis. Trial fit them on the car last night, and got the tires mounted today.
I took Steve's lead and went with Toyo Proxes RA-1 tires. 305/35R18 rear and 245/40R18 front. The RA-1s are good and sticky and are the same as we run in Spec Miata albeit in a much smaller size.
Now that it looks like a car again I have new energy to get it on the road.
Oh, I am aware that it needs to be a little lower, but I thought I would wait until I have everything back in it (radiator, interior, etc) before I go adjusting ride height. Just had to share a little.

I will probably push it outside this weekend for some more shots. I have no brake lines yet, so I've gotta be careful so it doesn't roll away on me. lol
Thanks for the compliments, guys.Jeff

Thanks a lot guys. I am getting pumped about getting it back on the road now. Rolled it outside tonight for a couple more photos.
I am convinced the 4" cowl hood has to go, but I may have to wait a while.Jeff

Right hood has to go, I meant to say something before, a nice flat hood would look great!

Ditto on the flat hood. If you can fit it the flat hood looks rad.

Wow, how did I miss this thread?? Your called looks absolutly bad ass.. LOVE the wheels!
I vote for and SS hood.. I have never been fond of the flat hood."A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for."

Sweet car, only thing I can say is it needs lowered a little. I still like it the way it is though.
Just my .02,
Joe
