My 55 is done.



Thank you everyone on FTE. You have helped me so much by answering my questions or by other post I have read. All that is left is a frontend alignment and calibrate the speedometer,,, I HOPE!!!!!!
Once again, THANK YOU

Thanks guys. The color is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl. It is an orange candy over a white base.

looks great and congrats on gettin it done. Seems to be a lot of that going on around here!

I was just curious about your front and rear wheel size, dia and width as well as tire size front and rear.

Wheels are Billet Specialties Daggers 20X10 rear 18X8 front with 275/50-20 and
255/50-18.
Engine and drivetrain is all,,,,,,don't make me say it,,,C$#@y. OK I said it.
It was already set up with a Nova front clip and a small block and it was easier and cheaper to go ahead with it that way for now. I do have a 302 for the future.
And I wish I could contribute half the knowledge that I recieved on FTE.
