I believe that the SPC's don't have any provisions for the bump stops.

Btw the build is simply bad@$$. Can't wait for the wheels to get there so we all can see it completed. I know alot of us are following this build closely and are just as anxious as you LOL.

I used the bumpstops off the Hotchkis arms; they bolt under the ball joint, worked great.

Thanks for the nice words!

Congrats on getting her done in time big guy!! We were all pulling for ya!! :cheers:

Did you crimp all the a/c line ends yourself? This is something I have to do and my local parts store doesn't do it anymore.

yes, I was able to borrow a tool to crimp them, so I cut them to length and crimped them myself.

tires and wheels showed up today. Let me just publicly thank Frank from GP Superstore and Scott from Forgeline; both went out of their way to take care of me, excellent communication throughout. It was a pleasure.

Here's a couple pics. I will take some nicer outside pics probably tomorrow, I need to re-do the alignment before taking it for a spin.

Here's the first wheel/tire mounted with the original wheel/tire combo up front.

Majority of you wanted a more modern wheel, what do you think?

I think the more modern version makes the car mor badass.
I don't like that they are black. I think a more gunmetal color would look much better.
Time was an issue and you got a set of wheels in record time.
After power tour you should play with photoshop and try a gunmetal color on them.
