Making room for the wheel/tire combo. Temporary install with self tapers. Enough to make the marks and get to cutting.

Rivnuts in, flares painted

Making room in an attempt to not cut a tire. Wish I would have done this prior to cutting the fenders and prior to front of the car back together.

Got to see this thing in person yesterday, great work so far, Adam! Now I just need to figure out how to make my child-bearing hips fit into a 15" Kirkey so I can beg for a co-drive, lol

Thanks Rich, and thanks for dropping off your contribution. With it I plan to have this thing on the ground this weekend.

Went with the electric valve on this to not have to think about it. Ruined my plan to mount it horizontally.

Is this a milestone? I believe this is a milestone. Feels low as hell after walking past it on the quickjacks the last 6 months.

It’s on the move. Loaded it on the trailer for Blake at Bluegrass Race Electronics to do his work. Also, my friend fits in a Miata well.
