Wheels!!

[Richio1]

Sucks... why are so many wheel manufacturers/Dist so bad at turning around orders for wheels?

Hopefully soon

[Stovebolter]

Jeff, I have the wheels. Multiple issues. I explained it on the True Forged thread. I'll explain in greater detail later.

Thanks,
David

They do look good. But one of the fronts are out of round per tire guy. I went back to tire shop and made him spin them again. Very noticeable.

Its gonna be cool. So are you going to keep it drivable as you build it?

[Stovebolter]

Thanks. Yeah the plan has always been to keep it drivable. Stressing more on functionality verses beauty for the time being. Later I can always strip it down and paint. I just finished a 3 year stretch of body shop prison on my sons car last summer. Kinda want a big break away from sandpaper and paint masks. Lol.

That must be an Arkansas thing...since I am from there.

May have to revisit my color choice and paint mine gold.

Lol Payton. May be the Hillbilly in me. What part of the state did you reside in? Im in Northwest......Harrison. Just south of Branson.

In truth, I promised my dear wife I would buy a project that was driveable. She's seen my other so called projects and how long it took to get them in one piece. The car has been in the shop with out a rear end for a week now. Its been killing me knowing its not driveable. I put the 12bolt back in last night so I can swap out the front suspension (Ridetech) just to see how bad the front wheel is.

I prefer a nice looking beater over a car that gives me anxiety pains if I leave it in the Walmart parking lot. Lol.
