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

That car just keeps getting better

Thanks! But it is only because I drank a large cup of coffee at dinner that I felt so motivated last night.

Drove it for the first time in a few weeks to take some pictures.

I finally realized why the appearance of that car throws me off a bit. Body-colour front bumper, and chrome rear! Now I can't unsee it lol.

I'd still vote for that #3 jpeg though.

Lookin' good, Mike.
Those are some huge meats on there..
Are there any clearance issues?

Noted, and submitted for GBOTM.

Not really. Lots of room to the inside and they will tuck up inside the wheel wells under compression with the slightest rub on the tire. But, that is smooth metal from the lips being rolled. If the diff was built 1" narrower it would be perfect.

Have you addressed the top end mixture issue? Was the new tune supposed to address that? Ready for 12's?

I wish. Time is at a premium these days... however, I have wired in a pressure transducer to log any fuel pressure irregularities.
