That looks very awesome but I am not looking to do ant frame mods and I believe I saw your build thread and how you are notching the frame?

Once I got the 11"s on there and looked under the car on the inside between the framerails and the rear tires I have about another inch. So I guessed right or maybe could have gone with an 11.5.
I am guessing your 12-bolt was factory for your year, do you know the back space your wheels are? I am concedering having a 9" cut down to run a smaller backspace wheel to get a deeper dish and runn a 11" wide wheel. Your car is looking great, glade to see you are getting your engine and tranny swap done.
