ok after finishing some outstanding projects im back on this one. im still undecided on the wheels i like the steel wheels and white walls but i like the pegasus wheels also.

the inner fenders have been removed and some new ones have been made

keep in mind this is still in the test fitting stage all the parts are just tacked in place to make sure everything goes together nicely.

thanks for looking and more progress soon!

I just saw the progress pictures and I must say that the engine is awesome.

Where did you source the stromberbergs from? They give the engine a different attitude.
