    Well you were wondering if it would fit in..It would up until the 22 inch wheels.

    Here's what the last roundup looked like..

    Hey Mark here is what the blankets look like. The other one is slightly a different color, but you can't hardly tell. I'll give them to Tyler to bring up there if you want them. I won't be able to get up there again probably before the Roundup. Let me know if you want them.

    OK....UPDATE.......
    well last week we all(THEM) installed my intake and carb and dist. and fired that sucker up ....... some of you may have seen the firey video clip. ......Well, what you didnt see was the "milk-shake" "mocha-latte" that we made [​IMG] *****DO NOT**** i repeat ****DO NOT*** ever buy a "Power-Plus" intake manifold.........****JUNK***** the damn thing was warped and dumped all kinds of water into the engine TWICE!!!! beautiful intake ...but junk.... anyway ... after fearing a cracked block I thought it was worth a shot with a Name-Brand manifold...... and viola no more leaks .....

    So, now all thats left is my front disc kit and dropped uprights and master cyl. and plumb the brakes...... its coming down to the wire.........

    Another update. We put the dropped uprights on the car and now it is sitting right. I'm sure Mark wouldn't mind it going even lower, but not before the Round-Up.

    Last Tuesday, the brake lines were laid in place, the brake booster was put into the firewall, Mark and Eric finished up the brake pedal. Should be taking it around the block by the end of this week.
