I believe that the SPC's don't have any provisions for the bump stops.

Btw the build is simply bad@$$. Can't wait for the wheels to get there so we all can see it completed. I know alot of us are following this build closely and are just as anxious as you LOL.

I used the bumpstops off the Hotchkis arms; they bolt under the ball joint, worked great.

Thanks for the nice words!

Congrats on getting her done in time big guy!! We were all pulling for ya!!

Did you crimp all the a/c line ends yourself? This is something I have to do and my local parts store doesn't do it anymore.

yes, I was able to borrow a tool to crimp them, so I cut them to length and crimped them myself.

tires and wheels showed up today. Let me just publicly thank Frank from GP Superstore and Scott from Forgeline; both went out of their way to take care of me, excellent communication throughout. It was a pleasure.

Here's a couple pics. I will take some nicer outside pics probably tomorrow, I need to re-do the alignment before taking it for a spin.

Here's the first wheel/tire mounted with the original wheel/tire combo up front.

Here's all four new wheels:

Majority of you wanted a more modern wheel, what do you think?

Jody, those wheels have Badass written all over them. Excellent choice

**Rybar** · #**517** 05-20-2008, 05:52 PM

The wheels look killer by the way. Hey, and good luck on the Tour. Hope that all is smooth.

I think the more modern version makes the car mor badass.
I don't like that they are black. I think a more gunmetal color would look much better.
Time was an issue and you got a set of wheels in record time.
After power tour you should play with photoshop and try a gunmetal color on them.
