Ernie, your car looks awesome. Next time take the picture straight because I'm going to get a sore neck from staring at the picture with my head tilted. haha

Hey Lou, just wanted to try another angle than the usual one, you know lol
I just cant believe the car looks so much better than what it did when i first got it. Alot of hard work and lots of money my friend!!!! but im sure we all know that here, nothing in this world comes perfect, therefore we must be the ones to try and get it as close as we can in our own special ways.................................

Good Job, Car Looks Awesome. I can relate as I finished my restore in February on 89-0218. I'm afraid to total all the receipts up so I just stuck them in the file. I just told the wife I have one opportunity to do it right so I spared no expense. What tire/wheel size and offset do you have. They look great...

Thanks Saleen 218, I was graced with a wife that encourages me to fix my saleen, "the sooner the better" she says lol, but I know that it takes a whole lot of patience and time thats for sure.
As for the wheels, im running OEM Saleen 99-04 wheels, 18x9 on all four corners
12mm up front and 25mm out rear
You should post some pics of ur car so i can check it out.

00 extreme rainbow:Thanks for the compliment, love that color scheme on urs!!!!! always been a fan of that

Thanks for the info on the wheel sizes. I need to get an extra set so I can drive it to some shows. Right now I have my racing tires on (I purchased it to Auto Cross race and this will be its first year). I have been meaning to post some pictures of the processes as I have many. Thanks God for digital cameras because I have never done anything like this before so I learned a lot the last 8 months and it was good to have pictures to reference back to as I reassembled.
