Houston is still a good 10 hours from me. Don't forget, Texas is on the slightly larger side as states are concerned. I can get to Memphis in about the same time as I can get to the bottom of Texas.
I think I have an Aunt that just moved to that area but I'm not 100% sure of it. so it is all good lol. I'll stop by and drop it off on my way to Houston lol

That would be a bit of a drive but I would be happy to do it for you.You would have to wait awhile though as I have a 48 chevy delivery up for restoration next.
Thanks cuda you just gave me another reason to visit my home town. lol

Yup, the current set really wouldn't be able to handle the new torque output. I'll probably keep them on there long enough to lay down some long strips of rubber though.
They will keep coming as it moves along.
Sorry about that Mike. Dustin and I have been asked to restore a 48 Chevy delivery wagon after the RX-7 is finished. I will get some pics of that one going as soon as we get it to the shop.
Another person from the flatlands of Texas...I'm sorry.

Something doesn't look right with the paint. It looks like it needs some clear coat and a good wheeling. :help:

It has polishing compound all over it right now. If you look at the rear wheel you can see it all over that also. It gives the dulling effect that it has right now. I will put up some more new pics when it is completely finished.

Not yet. To tell the truth I haven't really thought about that part too much yet. I might have to start soon though as it will be ready for them in no time.

Have you decided which Ford engine you're going with yet? 5.8L - 351 FTW!
Or I guess I'd settle with an LSx engine too :laugh:

Well, the rx-7 project was sort of put on hold for awhile so that other things could get done. However, we were able to get some work done on it today. The new heart is out of the donor and ready to get prepped and shined up before going into the rx-7.
