No work being done, just research

I am not working on the car right now. I've been in Quincy a lot, and just doing some research on future steps.

In particular, I tried to buy some used tires from a guy who was advertising on craigslist. The tires are perfect, at least for the front. They are 235/60R15, which is what most people use, and increasingly difficult to find as most manufacturers don't make many of this particular size. At least one guy uses them on all 4 wheels. These in particular are Coopers and even say "Cobra" on the sidewall. He wants $75 for the set. New, each tire would be more than that. They have about 50 percent of the tread left. At a minimum, I could just use them for the time being while I am doing the build. Anyway, I am waiting to hear back from the guy. Hope I get them.
