    Here are a few more pictures from this weekend. Just waiting on rear shocks and we'll be able to go for a spin (pun intended)

    before detailing under the rear. you can almost see the Dana :)



    I will have to do another write up on how I used the original rubber part of the bumperettes to fill the holes in the rear valance. Basically, I just chopped off the top 1" of the rubber with a sawsall, filed a groove in the bottom of the piece so it popped in to the bottom of the valance hole, cut a 1x4" piece of sheet metal and made a bracket to screw to the valance behind the bumper. It looks really slick.



    The eyecatcher graphic :)





    We just need a few more pieces for the six pack and we should be able to call it quits.

    Please give details of rims & tires LOVE DA LOOK  :thumbsup:

    The wheels are cragar 390 series, 17". 8" up front and 9" in back. 4.5" backspace on both.

    285/40 17 in the rear
    235/45 17 in the front.

    We had troubles with rubbing in the front so we needed to shim the front valance out a touch. I would recommend a lesser backspace in the 3.5 to 4" range with 225cm  by 25" tall tires.

    The car looks absolutely WIDE with this setup. really crazy...

    The early pics on this page are gone now - durnit!  What can be done about this, it's happening all over the board!?   :villagers:

    Anyhow, KTO I'd love to see more pics of the side of your car where you can see both wheels really well.  I'm just about set on 17x8 up front with 245/45/17 and 17x10 rear with 285/40/17, but I'd like to see it on other's Cudas if possible.

    Very nice lookin' AAR !!!!!   :wow:  :clapping:

    Here's mine right after paint (about a month ago) and with a wheel mock-up using 18's and 20's.  I won't be going that large on the wheels though.
