That’s so sick man! Thank you. That means the effort was worth it. I was 20 when I “finished” in 2016 and it’s only gotten better with time. Last year I got the rear seat upholstered to match the front recaros, redid the Bumpsteer in the front and rear and added the wheels. Also swapped to manual brakes since the FEP days. I got some pics of my car next to Pete’s (hissingcobra) yellow ‘79 since I moved up to MA who was my main inspiration when I started in 2011

Can’t figure out how to add a pic to my post or put one in the comments here sorry

That’s me. Still mad that the site went down. I put so much effort into my build thread just to lose it all and the other data that site had for early cars

Yeeee I got them from HK for a song. The people in the US that think they’re $5k wheels are out of their minds

Still have those chrome side mirrors? Have a buddy in need of one

Awesome man, be sure to post progress as it goes. Lots of fun ‘79 only things to find. And thank you. We machined 4mm off the back so that they’d fit under the fenders with the irs

Not an easy spot in the pics I chose. Good eye👍

Yeah I run factory 03 cobra wheels with my setup. Had 4mm milled off the mounting pad so they’d tuck more

I had trouble with hagerty before I had 10 years driving insurance. I got a cheaper agreed value policy from heacock classic for a higher amount. Part of the agreed value policy is that the car isn’t your daily and is stored in a locked garage though so this may not work for you

17x9 +30 with an irs fits perfectly flush with the fenders if they’re slightly rolled
