    looks alot like mine lol what size are those rims in the pics mine has the stock 16.5's on it :eek: i wanna make them 16s so tires dont cost me a small fortune and does it run? is all the engine wireing done? if so i would like to see a shot of the firewall and see how far off mine is :p heres a shot of it as it sits

    It runs

    Well not today..got a corroted wire..new rebuilt carb..and would not idle smooth..Now I know why..I will get a pic today of the fire wall..(engine side Bonvo?) or under the dash? I just picked up a oil bath for 10$..About those rims....They are way to wide....they rub the tie rod. That is what i am working on today...I found some rims yestorday, and now I have to put a 1/4 inch spacer..BUT...I will be removing my studds and putting in longer studs so they (the rims ) will have some thread to ratchet down. Well I am off to checker...Mike Gaff
