Its a push button start bro! No need for the choke so instead of putting a plug I decided to do that.

The car's looking sick man :shock:

Front tire clearance looks a little tight, does it turn from lock to lock?

Thanks!
I haven't hooked up all the steering and stuff yet. I'm waiting on a little part, but while manually turning it to move it, the inside of the rim touches the body right when its almost fully locked out. It doesn't touch the outside fender at all though. I'm eventually gonna change the wheels to some Fuchs 5.5, but for now I like this big look.

I honestly just put the body on and have not adjusted the front beam or adjustable spring plates yet. The back look to high to me and the front a tad bit too low also. I tackle all of that in the upcoming weeks.

So I have never installed a rag top before, and just my luck my rag top is the one with square corners in the back and no one else on islands has one or ever installed on like it. Well after a few pictures from Murray Wilson, my boy and I tackled it and I think it came out pretty nice.
