Bryce,

I'm glad you like the wheels. It took 6 or 7 weeks of beating my head against the wall tryin g to decide which wheel would look the best.

I can wait to see them mounted on the car with some BFG rubber

rich-allen 11-25-2008 06:35 AM

We stuck the wheels on the car without the tires just to see what it might look like.

Not too bad egh?

These rims sure would look good on a certain Nova Convertible! LOOKS GREAT!

There was a real battle of opinions going on when I picked these out.
The HRE 893R are bad ass wheels however, they are another 1/3 more than comparable wheels. When Tyler offered me a kick ass deal I couldn't refuse.



All I have to do now is paint so the wheels really stand out. A dark gray metallic will do just fine. :yes:


Rodger found out last night that BFG discontinued the 315's in my size so were going with the 335's

What wheel styles were you guys "battling" over? Just Curious....

rich-allen 11-25-2008 09:45 AM

Asanti and Fisk

Flash68 11-25-2008 10:57 AM

Great wheel choice Rich. HRE is top shelf.

ironworks 11-25-2008 11:01 AM

Cal overnight should be here in the early AM wedensday with some BFG tires to set it down on its own weigh after getting them mounted. We here at the shop are pretty excited. The wheels are amazing.

Rodger

brian mc 11-25-2008 04:41 PM

DAMN!!!! those wheels look sick Rich. Good choice....and i thought when we picked your car up you were going to have roger throw it together for you. I guess you got caught in the ironworks web huh.... :thumbsup:

rich-allen 11-26-2008 07:51 AM

The Ironworks-web is amazing! I studied their projects, their wormanship, etc, for a while before I took my Nova there...... Like you guys: NO REGRETS HERE EITHER!

Ironworks projects seem to take on a life of their own. Just ask Rich... and Brian... and, of course, John! Tyler will find out soon enough (if he hasn't already).

novanutcase 11-26-2008 11:56 AM

Hahaha! I was just talking to Rodger about this last night!

Rich? Remember when we were eating breakfast and I told you that now that you have your car at Ironworks you're going to REALLY see what is possible? LOL!
You looked at me kind of funny and said "Well, we're just going to be putting her back together with the stuff I already have" Hahaha! I knew it was over when you said that!

brian mc 11-26-2008 08:06 PM

ironworks 11-26-2008 08:34 PM

Yes Rich has the Goods. I guess he is holding out on posting. MAN Oh MAN does it look good.

Rodger

camaro2nv 11-26-2008 09:46 PM

Im loving the work you guys do.

rich-allen 11-27-2008 06:07 AM

Woooot!
 
Thank you Rodger for sending the pics.

We still need to swap out the front shocks to a coil over kit and lower the front another inch or so. You guys get the idea:

Looks great! Coming along nicely! Is there going to be fender lip issues? They look real close on the rear? Great choice in wheels!! :thumbsup:

It's nice to see that Rodger and crew are able to keep so many projects moving forward all at one time! Great job guys!! :cheers:

rich-allen 11-27-2008 06:22 AM

Happy Thanksgiving Anthony,

There shouldn't be any clearance issues, if there is, Rodger will just have to fix them!

Thanks Rich! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

I'm sure a little trim or roll will take care of any issues...if there are any that is. The reason I ask is that sometimes pics dont really show true fitment.

Looks killer, you have to be stoked!!

Tom.A 11-27-2008 08:05 AM

Rich,

That looks killer. :thumbsup:

FaBrycation 11-27-2008 10:14 AM

happy thanksgiving guys! rich the car looks awesome! especially in person. yeah we are going to have to barely clearance the rear lip but thats all. they fit and look great.

Brycen

ironworks 11-27-2008 10:50 AM

Well when we started the wheel mock up we were going to run the 315 like every one else and I had told Rich that. I wanted to get the wheels before I put the 335 idea out there. The rear wheel clearance is very close, the closest part is the rear lower shock mount with the coilover end on it from the "G" bar, we have about .375 but that is from the rim, the tire clears it totally at the ride height setting we are using, With a different suspension we could have moved the back space in just a tick would have been the best clearance since the tub and lip well. All we have to do is shorten the fender lip and form it to go up so it is just as strong if not stronger then stock. It is close but with the mods we are doing to the rear shock crossmember and the mini tubs we made it will work great.

RICH you nailed the wheels buddy, I know you were like a kid in a candy store when you were choosing, But The Force is with you on this choice. Oh and once we get the front clip dialed in we can remove the wood spacer blocks in the front control arms and set the ride height even. The plan is coming togther well.

The guys in my shop that have done a bunch of work on this car are showing there skills well. Brycen with the min tubs, front valance, Intercooler and exhaust. Erik with the Roll cage. Henry with the dash mods and smooth cowl and floor pockets for the exhaust. Jason with the Lay out of the engine bracket system and Procharger and the begining of the interior working.

Happy Thanksgiving guys

Rodger

awr68 11-27-2008 11:01 AM

Thanks for the info Rodger! :thumbsup:

Rich, I forget. What color is the car going? Do you have a rendering or someone working on one?

Flash68 11-27-2008 12:45 PM

Wow they really look great on there. Nice choice indeed.

I think you said you are going with some kind of dark grey/silver right?

rich-allen 11-27-2008 05:28 PM

Rodger, you and the guys have treated my project as if it were your own from the day it arrived. I know you guys treat every customer the same but it feels like special treatment to me.

Please let Brycen, Erik, Henry and Jason know how much I appreciate their professionalism and dedication to the project.

I hope everyone at Ironworks and Lateral-G has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

***Update***
 
Alrighty then;

Rodger came up with a cool idea for the dash and cowl. Rodger knows that I'm a pilot and how much I love to fly so, he decided to design the dash and bring the cowl through the window to have a cockpit feel.

Here are a few pics of the progress;

Chip Foose he's not... But you get the idea.
