1980 Pontiac LeMans Station Wagon - G-T-faux (stuck with it, and can't shake it... like a bad case of herpes)

Finished it up this morning. Kept the IATs between 75-85*F on the move - not bad for just a box fed from the cowl.

That thang is sweet! But are those the wheels in the pic? How do you keep the tires from rubbing the well lip?

The fender lips are rolled, the frame is narrowed, and the suspension is pretty stiff (it has and inner and outer spring on both sides between the axle perch and frame). A little rubbing doesn't phase me. ;)

I am guessing that I am way overdue for this:


Modest sized house, ample garage, derelict cars on jack stands, and a bag of rock salt because it can always snow in Canada.

Mike, you seem dangerously low on tire smoke.

I still cannot do a burnout because the differential still isn't fully broken in yet.
