Can we do something about the 5 spokes? |
I'm definitely ditching the 5 spokes, I'll give ya one guess on who wants them Will.  It will definitely be getting lowered but I'm still unsure of what wheels to use. I was thinking polished Raders.

I was told that it had 90k on it when the previous owner bought it so if that's true then it has 111k on it now. ALL the drive train is original to the car as well.

Sold it, it wouldn't weld thicker metals. I thought it would have but even with the heat turned all the way up it didn't seem to penetrate very much so I offed it.

16's would be cool too but $1k for wheels and $500 or so for brakes isn't in the budget either. I just can't believe what people pay for 15x4 1/2's and deep 6's.

Finally got her lowered down thanks to Jason @ TRP. Luckily his shop is RIGHT around the corner from me so I yanked the beam, took it & the adjusters to Jason, and he welded them in for me.......

Thanks man! I'm gonna put a 3/4" sway-a-way sway bar on it too, a lil more fun to drive and a lil stiffer feel to it.

Yes! I would rather see stock wheels!
You could paint them gold for that vintage look! |
