Those are some great upgrades. it's going to be like an entirely new car. Well....maybe more like "exactly the same but totally different". LMAO

Looking forward to seeing more.

Probably should have put these first but just didn't think about it. Here are a couple of pics of what the car was like to begin with. The red fastback in the background belongs to my buddy. We like to get out and drive them as much as we can. In these pics the car had DSE a-arms and QA1 coilovers
along with some Hotchkiss parts in the back.

I will check in the wheel back spacing tomorrow. In the picture the rears are 18x8 and the fronts are 18x7 Foose Nitrous. I am now running 18x10 and 18x8, I will get you the back spacing tomorrow.

Wow, I could have sworn that those fronts (up top subframe pics) where way wider ...

Thanks

I sorry Steve. In the picture of the subframe the wheels are 18x8. I thought you where referring to the pictures of the car assembled. I believe that the backspacing on the 18x8's are 4.5 or 4.75 and I am running a 245/40 BFG. I can not remember for sure so the numbers I have told you may be wrong and the wheels are at Dan Holohans shop right now. It has been several years since I bought those wheels and spacing has slipped my mine. I should be getting the car around the end of the month I will measure it and let you know for sure.

Jeff, Curtis I appreciate the comments. Both of you have built or building some terrific cars. While the car was at Dan's I had him install some DSE subframe connectors, exhaust and weld in the ridetech 4 link cradle. I did not have a problem with just bolting in the cradle I just felt more comfortable with it welded.
