I think that is a box so enclosed to the weather.

Thanks, you have a great build going as well!

Thanks. It's a small shop so I have to keep things organized.

Glad everyone agrees. Always tough to decide on wheels. I think they are going to look great though.

Thanks for the heads up. The area where you see the insulation is actually closed on the backside so no worries on that getting wet or causing issues.

I can't take credit for the body/metal work. All of this was done by Mike over at MCC prior to me taking delivery of the car. I am very happy with the results though.

I hooked my system up and gave it a "test" run and thought that the front speakers sounded a bit odd. (echoish/boxy) Not sure if I need some adjustment, or should I have used the insulation??
Car audio guys have been using polyfill in enclosure for a long time. I don't know the exact science behind it but it certainly will not hurt.

My wheels showed up yesterday. It will be a while before I can get the tires mounted and balanced but I think I am in love...

Wheels are Forgeline GZ3 18x9 and 19x12 with in their transparent smoke finish. I also ordered up my tires and decided on Michelin Pilot Super Sport 275s / 325s.

The wheels are just stunning! These are going to look great.... The wheels will be the first "upgrade" on my ride when it's done.

Thanks guys. I ordered up a Max Jax two post lift today to make my life a little easier. Hopefully in the next couple weeks I will have the car on the ground under it's own feet....

Very nice wheels
Mine just shipped and are the GZ3R- same but
no caps as I always leave them off since I race a lot

Went with gun metal centers and polished outers and exposed
hardware as I just like to see the reflection of the bolts
on the wheel... just my thing

I went round and round but kept coming back to
the Forgelines

Good choice.. now finish that car up and
start using them
