What are the tire/wheel specs?? I ask because I bought some 17x9F/10R 531 xxr's with 315/35/17 nitto 555r's for my coupe that I will be installing but I wasn't sure if they'll fit. I've googled foxbodies with xxr 531's but nothing comes up.

I have the same wheel and will be using a 275 Mickey T on the back. I will post pics once finished if it's not to late.
You'll have to remove the tailpipes and quads, roll fenders and beat the inner fenders at a minimum. And if you're low at all it still won't clear the fenders.
In the pics the setup was 18x11 with 315/30/18 I think.
The build is looking great...I finally got mine started the other day. Do you have any pictures of how ran your hood release cable? I'm trying to figure out how to get it through to the front from behind the fender. Also, how/where do you have your headlight harness ran and attached. Lastly, in the left front fender area, is your harness behind (body side) the shock or outside the shock...thanks for the help.
Size width and offset? Looking for set just like that

Its so ugly but sexy at the same time LOL
I just read through this entire thread. What an awesome build! I admire the dedication, patience, talent and free time the people have that complete projects like this. Great job!
Was hoping that when I got to the end of the thread that it would have some current updates on where the car is now power wise and number wise. I'll stay tuned for your update.
I actually drove an identical car to this as a demo for a while in 1992. Notch, same color and even automatic.

18 x 11 XXR's on each corner. Tiger flares out back and Tiger full CF flared fenders up front.
315/30/18 rear and 295/30/18 up front.
Those shots were in the fall. Car is a 1990. Yanked suspension (added full Maximum front and rear) and driveline (mild 302 converting to carburetion, TR3550, Torsen T2R) and am going through the engine in my garage over the winter.
