Finally got my G-Force transmission crossmember from summit racing today for my 200-4r, looks real good. here's a pic of the rims im gunna use. they came with the car and i wasnt planning on using them cause i had plans for a set of rallye wheels. they were painted with a brush by somebody but after a good cleaning, some paint stripper and some mothers mag and aluminum polish they came out great after i clear coated them.

Finally roled the car out of the barn today. just finishd mounting the body back on the frame and putting a new gas tank in. i just need to order a few more parts for the motor (intake, carb and headers) and it should be running. i hope to start the body work soon. is it just me or does it look like its sitting a bit high in the rear, i know it will go down some when i get more parts put back on.

thanks for all the positive feedback guys. i have had people telling me to turn the car into an ss clone which im reallynot all that keen on. my plan is keep the stock front end and lower body mouldings on the car. for paint implanning on a dark metallic blue. what do u all think? should i keep with my stock plan or put a ss font clip on and eliminate the body mouldings?
