What size are the wheels? IE backspacing. Looks great though.

See page one of thread. I have the tires and back spacing listed there. Modify a real Judge. I say big deal! They made aprox 10,000 GTO Judges in 69. Over 70,000 69 GTO's. If it were a Cuda, with a Chrysler Hemi, yes then you have something. The Judge was named after a skit on a TV show called Laugh In. They are a Pontiac Tempest in sheeps clothing. However, I still love them.

Hey Roger, i noticed in this thread you havent said anything about what the interior of your car is going to be like, if your running a cage, new bucket seats, etc. What are you doing for gauges, i really want some new ones but i only want them to work in the stock gauge holes, the link shows stock gauges but its just show the gauge holes.

This is a link to some gauges at Jegs, i especially like these ones because of the 4 in 1 gauge.

Nice, Judge Roger,

I can only hope my car turns out half as nice.

What are you going to do for brakes? Stay with the factory stuff or go aftermarket?

Unlike Camaro's we have very few options of fit and finish of gauges in our dashes. Because my car is a Judge I have the hood tach, and the proper gauges within the factory dash. Oil, water temp, etc. No dummy lights.

No cage, as this will be a street car. Factory red interior with console. The trunk will be plain Jane also. I will leave those two projects for another time.

Note: I'm puttting in a kick as_ stereo. Alpine!

Baer brakes on all four. See below for some of the detail work I have done on the car.

When I first took the pictures I thought what the heck is wrong with the camera. Too much glare. Nope, its the reflection from the firewall. 9 weeks to go before Detroit Autorama. I hope I make it.

R.P.

Wow, 9 weeks. Good luck!

Good luck are you going to lower the car or you sticking with the factory stance? I love those cars I hated the stance from the GM. they look to high in the front. :(

OK, Roger, you set the deadline, now get finished already. lol
The car is looking so good from what we can see. I am sure it will turn out just fine. I can not wait to see it finished. :thumbsup:
