It's a pretty classy car. I just read your project post, did you figure out the wheels? I think it's a ZX3 and I know he had the fasteners reversed to the inside. I also think they had to clearance the bolt heads to clear the calipers. Let me know if you want any details.

Thanks, Cal.

Yeah, that which ones they are. I also got to meet with Forgeline at SEMA to see them in person. The frontend is getting the worx right now, once that is done and i've saved a little more money, the rear end and wheels will come at once....but that buckets running a little dry right now as i just completed the LS swap and have to redo a couple of things...

Thanks Tim and I appreciate the time you took to talk with Paul and I. Your car is great and getting your input helped me make some decisions on mine. I decided to go with the 10.5 front wheel and DSE verified the offset, thanks for your help. Have a good Christmas.

Cal.

Yes sir, ZX-3. Remember to watch the offset and Caliper sizing if you chose to reverse the fasteners. Let me know if you need anymore details.

Thanks, Cal.

Looks like it will be a cool build! Looking forward to seeing it come together. I'm starting a second gen build myself.

We'll the Christmas week didn't allow too much time for working on the shop but I did manage to get the DSE tubs in and some welding on the cage done. As I talked before, I also was able to grab a few pictures of paul's latest project.

Here's a couple of pics of Paul's latest project. It was a completely stock truck except the motor when we started. It's completely done and runs and drive great.

Here is the reworked dash. I cut a dash out of another 71 at our friends wrecking yard(Pasco Auto Wrecking) and used pieces to reconfigure our dash to accept the flat screen and vintage air controls.

Here is the engine bay equipped with a new LY-6 with a Mast cam and controller.i smoothed the firewall and completely reworked the core support, removing those pinch welds on the top and filling about a hundred holes. Paul built a new radiator mount that completely hides everything.
