86 Coupe GT

Whew. It doesn't look like much progress, but some things have been happening!

15x7 Ronals as they started:

And the passenger fender hung as best I can get it with bumper mounts back and still wrong. Bumper comes Tuesday. Amazingly, I have a complete set of lower grills :-)

Engine goes in on Sunday.

Wish me luck.

your pictures appear that you have Bilsetins from what little I can see of the mounting collars. Is this true? If so were they revalved?

Thanks,

and it will be legal for SCCA ITB.

They won't work the shocks any more than the 350's will - they'll just offer less compliance than the 350's.

Frankly, Having 380's in my slightly lighter GT (the black car) I'm not sure you really want to go with 500's on the road.

I use to have a similar setup on my last 90q but being 10 years difference in the body and less weight.... I'll just let it be.
