Thanks for the feedback. The tire size was just what a website said was exact size match. I originally felt the 245 was the size. Ty.
I used fiber glass and epoxy to attach it to a stock hood. I didn't make it from scratch, it's an old fiberglass hood from a chevy beretta chopped to fit.
As far as backing it up.....
Best I got is msd and a smaller s/c pulley.
