What size tires do you have on it? The back tires look bigger than the front. I like the way that looks.
BTW, where are all your igloos? I don't even see a snow shovel.

You are correct, the back tires are massive compared to the fronts. The rims are Appliance wire mags, Last made in the 70's. 15x7 front and 15x10 rear. 5 bolt Chevy. The car has 4 wheel disk brakes with rotors drilled and tapped for Chev and Porsche patterns. Just got a shock, the rears are 1700 each on ebay. I got them for $0.00. I can get the tire size later today. As for the igloos, we put them away in the freezer to save them for next winter, right beside the shovels. |

Subaru powered GTII E? ? What happened to the electric drive? Sure does look nice. The car was originally electric. When I got it someone had tried to convert to VW gas but never completed the project. The engine was in but the subframe and the charger were gone. The electric dash was still in place as was all the wiring. There was no fuel system or indication of ever having one. They trimmed the engine opening for the air filter but left it without a filter. The result was any rain fell through the opening into the carb.   I recammed a corvair 6 cyl to run backwards during the restoration.  I ran this for a year but the sound and performance did not match the car. That is when I chose to go mid engine Subaru. 2.2 4cyl auto using the eng, trans, computer, part of the exh and cooling system from a Legacy. Going in through the rear window.  Sitting in place  Finished look  |

I never heard of that place, its good to know about. I've been looking at House of Kolor. They have about the same products, I thought about experimenting with theglow in the dark and large metalflake, but I can't see doing that until I come closer to painting. Then what I do on test panels will be fresh in my head.
