So with the front clip built we needed to get it bolted onto the shell and set the ride height. For that we used a really cool tool that Chris Alston Chassisworks makes. This set-up is very simple but very affective. It goes on the bolts that hold the shock on and basically makes it a strut for setting it up. We just put a little tape to hold ours for a little trial fit and bolted front clip on.






We all know how the wheels can make or break the whole look of a car so when choosing them you really need to do your research. The wheels that caught my eye were the ID311's made by Intro Wheels and they are part of their line called I.D Luxury. They are a true 3 piece wheel and I just think they have the right look for a G-Machine type of car. The front is a 19 x 8 1/2 and the rear are 20 x 12. For the tires I used the Nitto Invo. I spent a lot of time making sure the aspect ratio of them were not to far off to make sure they have a smiler sidewall to them and look proportionate on the car. The front size ended up being a 245-35-19 and the rear is 342-25-20. Thanks to the guys at Jerry Noonan's Auto Center in Monroe NJ for getting them all mounted without getting a spec on the wheel.






Now that I had some parts it was time to get them all onto the shell and make this thing start looking like a car.
