Wheels and tyres

Finally got some tyres to go with my Pontiac Rallye II's. Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T radials, 225/60/15 fronts and 235/60/15 rears.

The body is in hi-fill ready for blocking, I'm just waiting for some decent weather so I can paint inside the doors and the boot. To keep things moving along I've been doing a couple more side projects. The first project was to get the gearshift back on the column but with the T400 and the 4 into 1 headers there isn't enough room for a linkage set up so I made a cable set up using a B&M race cable. The 2nd project was a fan module with 2 x 14" thermo fans.

Colour starting to go on

I'm starting to make some progress, 90% of the body is in hi-fill and I've started putting some colour inside the front guards and apron and under the bonnet. still a long way to go but it's getting closer.

Side project

I wanted a little break from doing bodywork on the HQ so I decided to do a little side project. I don't like the feel of the standard HQ accelerator linkage but I don't really want to put a cable set up on it. So I got some rod ends like they use on racecar linkage set ups and using the standard bellcranks I made my own linkages to connect them. The pedal feel is so much better, the difference is like day and night. There's a couple more pics in the pictures section.
