awesome upgrades, car looks sweet but i cant say im feeling those wheels, personally i dont like the way they look, but, its not my car so lol. nice job though you have spent some time and money already.
 
love the car it has a nice stance but i think i too would have picked a different wheel package for the car. these are not bad but i think i could have found something i like better for the car. other then that it is a sweet master piece of a car very nice indeed.

Funny thing about the wheels.. they look completely different in the pictures than they do on the car. When you see them in person, they really seem to fit the car.:)

Thanks, Mike! Next comes the Transmission and a 4" driveshaft. After that, I need to decide on the power adder. My local shop wants me to go single turbo. They seem to think that the space behind the grill is perfect for a turbo. I'm still leaning toward a Procharger setup. Not sure I want to deal with all that extra heat up front. They both have their good points. I guess it depends on where you want the power to come in.

I'm going to have the hood repainted.. not that it's bad.. but a couple of small chips on top and I wanted to have the underside painted anyway.

I wouldn't have even attempted most of this without the helpful information that I got on this site. You guys... and gals.. are the best.

Thanks! Not yet.. Just got it out of the shop last week and I spent 4 days going over the body. It's amazing how many places there are on a Mark VIII to collect old wax.

One of the local clubs is renting a track next week. Maybe I'll get it out there then.
 
I am actually liking those wheels... they are something different for a change :). Car looks great overall congrats :D
 
Great looking Mark VIII!

I like the wheels too.

I'd like to see it in person when you Ohio guys arrange a meet.:D

I'm looking forward to getting together with the other Ohio people, you and Trixie. The sooner we can get it planned after Carlisle the better.

There just aren't any Mark VIIIs around here.

Just a reminder... Super Summit is coming up at Summit Racing's headquarters here next Month. Last year there were 1300 cars showing and I don't remember seeing 1 Mark.
 
Hmm, if I dont have work, I might be able to make it down there too, and meet a few other Mark enthusiasts.
