    Nice ride. Not sure why but I kind of like those yellow wheels. Any plans yet for final color?

    I said the same thing. We are not sure of final colors for the car and wheels yet.

    What size and brand of front tires are those? I like how they look, not too bulky but not to round. Nice ch***is by the way. Thanks for the info in advance.

    Update on the roadster. We drove it about 3 miles the other day for the first time and it was one of the coolest things I have ever done. We just installed the tail lights and mocked up the head lights , light bar and grill shell. We are going to drive it like this for the summer and take it a part and paint it this winter. The wheels will not be yellow and the headers are so we could fire it off. It goes to the exhaust shop next Monday.
