Had a little problem with engine height and Phil and guys worked through it like chanps. Heres a couple shots of status and how they did it.

They sent me a cad design image and I have included for you to see and a changed rendering. I have been talking to Phil from the Roadstershop and he has suggested a full rim vice a spoke one. Looked at Billet Specialties Outlaw-G and Bonneville-G. Had baby moons and beauty rings on the original one I had in Highschool and have been looking at a few of those styles too. Wondering what you guys think?

I think the Boyd wheels give you a more street rod muscle car approach.

The forgeline give you more of a European sport car approach.

The old school look of the Billet Bonneville wheels lend themselves to more of a hotrod appeal.

It just depends on what's your preference. One thing is for sure, the car is going to be awesome with RS at the build.

Damn cool Chevelle. I like the steering shaft down to the gearbox :D :thumbsup:

Wow!! Awesome.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Exhaust almost done

You sure you can get any traction with those skinny little back tires?;)

Just kidding you there! Awesome build.

As for the wheels, I like the look the Forgeline, HRE, Rushforth....typical of what a lot of the current cars are running. Split spoke or similar. Although any of the choices you posted will look great on the car.

That sub just looks so sick! Love it. Going to be another awesome RS car!

Looks like it is going to be another awsome 66 Chevelle. What are your plans for the car when it's done? Just an awsome street car or are you going to track it? Great job RS as always.
