Great news Bill
even if it took longer than you wanted and expected it's nice to have that part behind you now.
Can't wait to see the process as it is getting it's heart back !!

Bill once you get running we can blow through 500 miles in two weekends. Maybe that Calabasas ride then a return leg through the Santa Monica mountains and Malibu. Throw in a Cars & Coffee trip ba-da-bing 500 miles!

I would not say you can't do that. Of course you can.
All I would like to add is that it is not recommended to put 285s on that narrow a rim.
You are making an educated decision and you are willing to bet that you personally will not have a problem. That's fine.
The problem lies with people trying to emulate your decision thinking that it is a recommended practice and totally safe.
While nothing is totally safe in this world we must remember that just because one person does something and it works does not mean that it is perfectly safe.
BTW it looks very nice.

need opinions...
I would like to paint the 2-piece intake ducting. Stock looks 'okay', but with the plastic mold line and imperfections visible, looks kinda cheap.
Looking at the attached pic, what color would be the best choice in my engine bay?
I was thinking a low-gloss black, but open to other ideas.

I like silver but I can see how it might take away bling from your centri. This is on Jason's car that he brought to Ricky & Ronnies. I was thinking of doing the same to the Kenne Bell intake. If they made a carbon fiber version I would buy that.

red is the obvious non black choice, Id stick with black though. You've already got a lot of red in the engine bay, and red is one of those colors that it is easy to go overboard with just a little more, IMO.
The silver does look good, but that's probably because the intake manifold is also silver.
Red might be too much. I think I hit my limit on red when I got the radiator cover and side extensions.
Leo, new wheels and tires are still on my top list. If not for my current situation, I'd be already rollin' on the CS69's.

Well if that's the case....I vote for black. Red would be to much.
