Thanks for the recommendation of photobucket. I'll head over there soon and get set up. As far as the backspacing on the Razors, they only offer the 17x9's with 5.94" backspacing, which will require a 1/2" spacer in the front. Just for looks, I'll use a 1" in the rear to get the wheel out to the fender. In response to the totaled Trans Am, sorry to hear about your loss. I'll be headed out to my car's location on Monday. I brought it to Dennis Southworth, owner of Hidden Valley Performance Center out here in upstate NY. I worked for him on and off for a while and he's a GM muscle guru and all around nice guy. He has such a wealth of knowledge and parts for older GMs. He also has the facilities and tools my car needs right now. The car is currently a 10 footer. It looks great until you stick you head under it. It probably won't be a show stopper when he and I get done painting it and putting on the parts I can afford right now, but it'll be a solid platform upon which to build. I'm a little anxious to start actually cutting into my own car, but it couldn't be in better hands for the price I'm paying (just $3,000 for a proper paint job, frame rails and tail panel), especially considering all of the little stuff he's throwing in (torsion rods for the trunk lid, brake booster, hinges, blower motor, subframe connectors, etc.). I'll try to document the work and keep everyone informed.
