those wheels for the truck look SICK!!

Thanks AJ. Hopefully I will be thru with the Chevelle by the end of this year. No later than the spring of 2013. Then I can start on the truck by the summer of 2013 or at least by the fall of 2013.

Hey bro you ready to put a frame under that velle yet??? Lol

Howard:willy:

Howard, that's just wrong man! You know I'm sensitive about that. LOL!!! How's it going? How's your 70 Chevelle coming along? Hopefully I'll be back down thru your neck of the woods around May.

I know man that was a cheap shot, sorry!!!!! I know your ready but it seems we're always waiting on something or someone. As far as mine just getting all the game plan together so i don't have to do and redo if you know what I mean. Take care and give me a shout when you come back through, may be we can finish talking without freezing our butts off and being hit up to help out the local bums. By the way we went back to Hattiesburg to look at a new fifthwheel, we stopped at burgerking to get my little girl some lunch. Low and behold guess who hit us up for money. Yeap you guessed it, ol dudes wife that was in the truck with him. Lol He must have been hitting someone else up because he was no where in site. Imagine that!!!!!!!! Lol

Howard

You're kidding me, right? The same guy, well his wife? So, now we know it was a scam. Remember, he gave us that ole sob story about his mom being sick and all. He must have not known we were two professional bull$hit readers. :yes: :yes: We let him know we were born one day, but not the day he tried to pull one over on us. LOL!!:lol: :lol: That is just too darn funny.

I agree with AJ. Those are going to look killer on the truck Marcus. We'll need a build thread of that bad boy after the Chevelle.:thumbsup:

You got it Tone!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: No doubt, a build thread is definitely in order.:yes: :yes:

Nice!:cheers:

No big update guys, but I do need some help if someone knows a line on a good deal of Michelin Pilot Super Sports. 345/30/20 rears and 265/30/20 fronts. Vince at HRE sent me a pic of my wheels. He said the are finished with them and should ship out by the end of this week. Here's the dilemma though...he said with the rear wheel being a 20x13 and as wide as it is, I better make sure whoever mounts it knows what they are doing. Basically, make sure that they don't bust the silicone bead on the center of the two rim halves trying to mount a tire that wide. Now, he did offer to mount and balance the tires for me for free if I sent them to him. What a guy huh? :lol: So, before I have Tirerack drop ship them to HRE, I figured I'd ask if anyone knows a good deal on some. Those dog gone tires are higher than giraffe booty.:mad: I included a few previously posted pics of the rims before I sent them back to be refinished in brushed and tinted clear. Let me know what you guys think...good or bad. I know some of you guys already hate the chrome lip.

Dang, that''s a whole new level of Bad Ass! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Just pulled the trigger on my tires from Tire Rack. Dropped shipped them directly to HRE to be mounted and balanced. I should have them hopefully be next week. Will post pics as soon as I get them. Michelin Pilot Super Sports....fronts-265/35/20, rears-345/30/20.

Wheels look awesome now. will be a great combo with the Michelins

Thanks Tonny! But, my feelings are hurt. Those are some expensive a$$ tires. I have never spent that much on tires. I can understand motors, transmissions, sheet metal parts, etc. But, for something that's not gonna last that long....crazy!! :willy: Let's just say I bet I won't be burning any rubber or doing donuts.:unibrow: :unibrow: :_paranoid :_paranoid

You say that now Marcus. Wait till you get that beast all buttoned up and out on the road!:unibrow:
Wheels look awesome. I bet they look killer with those tires.

Nice Wheels! :thumbsup:

I know the feeling, I used to have a 08 Porsche GT2 (670 Horse) lots of money for tires on the one

Tonny

Hahahaha....you are right Tone. I'm going to have to push it just a weee bit. You know I'm gonna have to test it out. Then I'm gonna really feel stupid when I have to buy another pair of 345's.:(

:D :thumbsup:

Wheel #2 WOW

Just went through this thread. Awesome build and the new wheels look outstanding.

love the wheels! i hear you on the tires. i cant believe how some sizes are twice as much. maybe i missed it, but what happened to the 509?

Thanks Greg!!

I sold it to a buddy of mine who has a 69 Camaro. Thanks for the compliment.

Just got a call and email pic from HRE. My tires have been mounted and are ready to ship. Here's a pic of the 345 mointed on the 20x13.

You suck!! I say that because I am a couple of weeks from ordering my wheels. Those look awesome. I am sure you can't wait until they arrive at your door.

Haahhahahahahah....Greg, I was screaming like a kid on Christmas morning when I opened the email. Better pics coming when I receive them. What dimensions are your wheels going to be.

19X13 in the rear with a 345/30/19 and 18X10 in the front with a 285/30/18. I am also running Michelin PS'2s.

Sweeeet!! :yes: Yeah, I went back to your build thread on the first page after I typed the message and saw the spec's. Can't wait to see them.:thumbsup:

Very nice man. Those are going to look killer on the car for sure.

Lookin' good Marcus. :cool:

Looks killer Bro. I guess that eases the pain little bit? ;)

Thanx Tone and Skip. I try...;)

Those are sure sweet. Almost time to update your avatar :woot:

LOL....yep, thanks!! Meant to do it earlier, but forgot to.

Killer wheels man! :thumbsup:

Lookin good love the new finish on the wheels, when are we gone see some up dates on the reat of the car??? :yes:

Maaaan, we are getting really close Rick, really close. It shouldn't be too much longer. It's killing me!! :willy: He was about thru with it when I went down there early February. The frame is finished. Just need to fab in the IRS cradle.

Yeah it does a little bit. I'm just glad the hooked me up on the mounting and balancing. At least I know it was done right by them.

Im loving the car! off topic question, do you like in the dfw area lol? scenery looks kind of familiar

Yep, I'm in the Mesquite area. What about you?
