what you dont like my 14" dog dish jointz?

the car will get the same 17x8 PS engineering wheels used on the original cars.

spent some time fitting the hood today, pretty happy with the way it fits. gaps are nice.I had to grind off about 1/4 inch of material from the rear of the hood so it didnt hit the cowl when it closed. I need to build up the back passenger side just a little, and add a little bit to the very front pass corner but other than that it fits nice.

overall

new headlights, not 100% done but you get the idea.
