Looking forward to it. I was not aware of the F6 development. Edit: checked out the F6 FB page. I stared at that 6 picture and got a boner.

Sharp looking car...something about stock cars with the small diameter wheels that look like a nice timewarp.

I've changed to 15" Fuchs with 185/70-15 Pirelli P6000s. Not a huge change from stock 14" Fuchs.

He's doing some nice work. Is this the current status of your engine?

That is what they looked like originally.
One of the specialty rebuilders offers that finish at additional cost.
Can't recall what it is known as.
