1974 Plymouth Duster Restomod

Right well it has been quite a while since I have updated anything on this. Lets start out by saying it is back together and running nicely the engine is at least. When I shift the car from 1st into 2nd I get grinding not terrible, but enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck raise up. I have to shift the car into neutral from 1st wait about two seconds then I can shift it into 2nd gear. I do not have the correct shift rods on it, and they hit the tranny hump slightly. So I am getting the correct shift rods and hoping it fixes it... If not I am getting a new 1-2 syncro. I have also bought a new air intake for it which I got dirt cheap and will look fantastic. I have also just bought a tachometer for it which I am quite excited about. But even more excited about is the tires I just bought! I am ditching the 17" rims that are on the car because they are only 6" wide and they give me to much bump steer. So I am going back to the original rally rims the car had with some very nice rubber to put on. I got an amazing deal on some 225/50/14 inch tires, which may not seem like much, but it is actually quite a lot. The tires are Toyo Proxes R888 which are a street legal competition tire. They won't last but 7,000 miles and can't really be driven in the rain, but I don't drive the car in the rain and have had the car for three years and have yet to put 7,000 miles on the car. So I will take them especially since they were so cheap.
