Yeah, the rims are from a 1980 if Im not mistaken. They look good, but not gonna stay! Not enough rubber. As far as mini-tubs, for now I'm going to stick with stock wheelhouses in the rear... I spoke with Kyle T and he says that a 10.5 can fit with a low ride height, and for now, that'll get us up and running faster. I can always upgrade to a quadralink and tubs later if it's not enough, but I should be able to run a 315 and not rub with a 10/5 if I do some massaging. I've chatted with guys that run an 11 inch wheel out back on stock tubs, but I want this one low, at least lower than stock, and I don't think I want to flirt with rubbing.

I think the rubber nose WITHOUT the spoiler and flares throws back a little to the earlier cars, and it's unique to 78 so It's gonna stay like that, even though the rendering shows the flares.... I'll figure it out.

Thanks!!!
KT.
