Looks Great! You know... these cars were made for fender flares. It makes all the difference in the world in appearance. The wheel/tire combo doesn't hurt either.

Fender Flares
The people that designed these body kits in the late 70's early 80's really spent time on the design.
Its amazing that they follow the lines of the car so nicely being designed for racing.
Plus they give incredible downforce at high speeds. All these crappy body kits out today are just for looks, I can bet no R&D was spent on how much it can help the car in cornering, downforce, etc

Dan, your project is awesome as well. Great to see the progress
Here is a small list:
85 SE rust/accident free body
Dave Kent flair kit
respeed front coil over kit
t-2 front brakes
re speed rear adj spring perches
tokico 5 way adj front and rear.
street ported/pinned t-2 motor
t-2 tranny, bronze cluth
turbonectis hybrid
i am keeping the stock SE rearend for now. Not really planning on going to big on the HP. Just want something realiable and fun, if i can get 325-350hp i am good with that number.
I hope the rear end holds up. Just got to watch out coming off the line with so much traction.

Be sure and build some duct work from the front air dam back to the radiator. Without duct work, you are going to be fighting over heating issues - a big aluminum radiator without duct work will still overheat on you.
With proper sealed air ducts from the front air dam to the radiator, she will run cool.
