I decided to shave the engine bay, so here's me welding up all the clip holes. This is before I decided I was gonna go full blown custom (pics will come later, I'm doing this chronologically)

Yeah I gotta say, I don't really like the s197 body style but that one I really liked. And yeah 03/04 cobra (termi) wheels. Got a pair of 315s to slap on them.

Still rockin' the winter set. I think this was like a week before I finally switched to my summer set of 33's.

To get a quick idea of where I was at, I took a telescoping gauge to the cylinders. Was pretty surprised to see how decent they were.
