Have you come up with a different wheel yet? |
That's right. I dropped my car off to a body man in July of 2007 to have the driver side quarter and outer wheel house, roof skin, deck lid filler panel and DSE tubs installed. He quoted me 3-4 weeks for the work, I gave him 8 weeks in the back of my mind. In January 2008, I had enough and went to pick the car up partially done. He had completed everything except the tubs and it took 6 months.
The funny thing was two weeks ago, when I stripped the primer from his work, I found that the EDP primer had not been removed from the new panels he installed. I specifically asked that it be done too. Once I saw that, I decided to strip the body filler off too. That's when I found the seams not welded. Oh well, it's just money down the drain, I guess. I have learned a new skill since then, though...BODY WORK.
Not sure on wheels yet. I want a step lip design and an 11.5" rear wheel, so that limits my choices to a select few since I have to go with a 3 piece wheel to achieve the 11.5" width for the rear. Maybe Forgeline or HRE. I'm gonna concentrate on the body work, undercarriage, and front suspension, then decide on wheels.
