Tires: 29x15.5-15lt Mickey Thompson Sportman Pro in the rear and havent decided on the front yet

Notes: Going to be fenderless and try out a grilless concept also. Radiator going in the trunk. Predicting completion in mid 2007.

If I had bought those here in Vegas, I probably would paid $5000 for the Panel, $4500 for the Coupe, $7000 for the engine, and $2000 for the tranny.
