Beginning to like the monster hangers that come in the kit, once it all is bolted up solid nothing moves around

Successful first run cam break-in today, had everything ready to go and it fired up instantly. Got a short punch list to take care of but nothing big. Drove it around some in the yard, the transmission is working fine ao far. 
Got this today too, skinny little coolant recovery bottle fits in there next to the radiator like it belongs there.
It is the Mitsubishi one.

What Mitsubishi does that fit? Capacity?
Fits the 02-07 lancer and a couple others, P/N MR188696 or Dorman 603509
Good to know the flow master FX fit with no modification. I have two cars with TTI and dynomax mufflers. I like them, when I order my exhaust for my challenger I will go with the Flow masters so it will have a different sound then the others.
The Flowmasters are slightly louder than the Dynomax, to me they sound like a quiet glasspack, essentially what they are.
Rear bumper arrived yesterday after 15 week lead time, looked wavy sitting on the bench, but once on the car looks pretty good. The waviness went away after I quit staring at it.

Purple beeper horn hooked up and working- check.
Did not take long to get tired of looking at the rusty roller wheels so had to put these on- 295/50r15 on 8” and 235/60r15 on 7”
Yes big improvement over the rusty rollers
Up next on the list of things to do before the front clip goes on is the vinyl top. I bought the vinyl and made my own.
I can hear you thinking “hey you need to paint the roof first!”
I had just enough SPI epoxy primer left to put on a couple good wet coats. I wanted the epoxy fairly fresh, my reasoning being the glue will stick better.
I am going to do all of the upholstery myself, and also do my buddy's 73 Duster at the same time with the same material (black).
I dismantled my paint jail and put it away for next time, needed the space for all the upholstery work.

Hi, any chance you could do a few more pics of the wheel/tire combos while sitting on the ground? I have 4 15x8 rallye wheels to go on my Bird and planning on using the same tires on back, but 245/60r15 on front so one size larger on a 1" wider wheel. I think it should look good but always appreciate real world comparisons before I buy the tires, etc. Car looks fantastic, not sure mine is going to be done to such a high level but I'll try!
Thanks,
Jim
Thanks,

Hi Jim sure let me know if there are any particular angles you want, front clip is off so not much help there.
I let the epoxy cure for 4 days and put the top on. I did the one side at a time method. 
Got this pour top for the glue can at Ace hardware- no mess!
Finished up the 73 Duster seat, going to do the Duster back seat next before I start on the Roadrunner buckets
