This car was built in 2009 father/son thing.... (my brother/nephew)
Fast forward 10 years later, and after much issues from the first build, my brother and I decided it was time to take the body off and re-do/change things.
I don't know where to start... but, a HUGE thanks to Mike Forte, this guy IS the man with these cars.
Things we did: Forte hydraulic clutch, Whitby power brakes, Power steering, air ducts with adjustable vents/3" inline fans to 4 position fan switch, Tire stickers, spatts, re-fit doors an sand gaps AFTER paint!!! Reconfigure trunk for spare tire, assemble front bumper correctly, fabricate truck latch to close firmly, removable steering wheel (Forte), hindge the fuse panel for easier access. Drop transmission/clutch/drive shaft to re-ring the flywheel (starter bolts losened up, wiping out the teeth!!)
This started in November and was completed this past Saturday, May 9th.

What size tire stickers did you go with? I'm guessing these are 15 inch rims? Beautiful!!!

Thx guys.

What size tire stickers did you go with?
Yes 15”, we went with “the middle” size. Tire stickers gives you 3 sizes.... small med large.
They also require width and side wall... 285 x 60
