The shelby is almost ready for the owner to pick up...time to start working on the vette again.
New wheels are officially on order. 18X12's in the rear with 335/30/18's, and 18X9's in the front with 235/40/18s. They are Billet Specialties Dagger G's. They definitely were not cheap, but it really needed to be done. I'm happy.
Byron and I spent a lot of time measuring the car for custom backspacing of the rims, which will fit the car flush with the wheel well lips. I'm officially done fitting all the parts to the car.
Once I receive the new rims and test fit them on the car, the body is coming off of the frame. We will rebuild the motor, and install it on the frame with the transmission. The exhaust will also get installed.
The underbody will get detailed, as well as the engine bay and firewall. The engine bay and firewall will be painted off the chassis, and the wheel wells will also get a final detailing. The #4 access covers will also be permanently installed.
The body will be reinstalled on the frame, and the party is over...no more glass work, no more fitting parts, no more filler work. Its done. Its finally done. The prepping will finally begin, and this car will finally get the paint it deserves around christmas. I have a lot of guys that are going to be helping me prep the car, so it will go quick.
Its been one hell of a trip, and I'm glad its almost over.
