I've also heard good things about the QTP's for tires john.

the 17421 or the 17500 would work. I would have to run tubes but thats not a big deal.

I now have the 4 hood pins mounted, then I just set the height when I have a hood to install. And the hood can be removed for easy work or can be pulled off with the front clip for bigger jobs.

I boxed in the upper frame rail to the unibody structure, this will help make the front end as strong as possible. Just a little more clean up and a few more welds, then its onto painting before the motor goes back in for finish assembly.

This strip of aluminum replaces the 2lb stock blob of metal, and this does the same job but is a 1/4 of the weight. This is the rear subframe front mount to the body.

The rear bumber cover is back on, I have some tabs on the top underside lip, then the plate in the middle that holds the bottom up. Now just a few more rivits and brackets in the wheel well area and the back of the car is done minus the rear window.

It is getting closer, we will be painting this weekend, then build the dash and start to lay out the wiring.

I realized the other night that I rode in this car back when it had no interior and two seats. We did a pull on 694 with Ryan in his green Galant VR4. Kind of surreal seeing it take on this transformation.

I'm also thinking your wheel selection will be much better with a five lug conversion but you never know, there might be some out there.

That rear subframe aluminum piece looks scary, is that really gonna help?

[Pushit2.0]

The aluminum strip is 3/16" thick and tomorrow I will add spacers to hold the sub frame tight up to the body mount. The stock unit is 1/16" steel and just has what looks like a big washer welded to it to make it as big as the sub frame. But the stock unit tightens down on the center sleave thus not making contact with the sub frame itself.

Looking good dude! I love the hood design, that it can come off with the front clip or by itself.

We have decided to paint all the high traffic areas mat black, and the interior a grey color, the exterior will remain summit white. The idea is to keep the engine bay and trunk looking cleaner.

This will match the block and valve cover that are black also.
