Congrats on the sell! It's a beautiful car!!! :thumbsup:

Question, with all the work that went into this build, why not mini-tub it for a 315 or 335 rear tire? A 255 rear tire seems rather narrow for a 600hp motor. Especially when a 275 fits fine and a 285 would have fit with very little work to the OE sheetmetal.

Again, congrats on the sell! :cheers:

Thank you. I really wanted to keep somewhat of a stock look for the car. I purchased the car with the paint and body work already done and I didn't want to chop it up. I agree that it could have used some 335's.
