hope you enjoy.  The new rims and tires should be on by the weekend!  She will have a whole new look to her.  I can't wait to get rid of these wheels.  I will, of course, have more pics then.

Looking good but I think it's time to burn those tires a little if your getting new ones anyway ;)

I made up my mind and chose the American Racing Hopsters.  I can't wait to see them in person, a picture probably doesn't show all the detail.  I will post pics right away once they are on.

Like the stance.  doesnt sit as high as I thought it would.  I do like those '72 stripes.  Look for before/after pics of mine with new ESPO HD's at stock height sometime next month.

Can't wait to see your car with it's new springs.  I like the stance too.  I was so worried that it was going to be too much.  It is right where I wanted it.  I just hope it doesn't drop too much later on.  Don't forget...CUT THE U-BOLTS.  What a pain in the butt.  Oh, and if you ordered poly bushings with it, they come already installed with rubber bushings.  They sent the poly ones in a different box and you have to get the old ones out to put the new ones in.  I don't know if there is a tool for this but we didn't have anything to do it with.  We figured it out so if you got the poly and need advice on that let me know.

actually I am going to keep my rims for the winter because I don't know if I will have a garage for it or not this winter.  The rims I am getting are polished aluminum and would get destroyed if snow touched them.  We will have built a garage for next year so I could give you the rims then.  They are pretty worn though, they are an oblong universal bolt type and the lugs loosen up a lot.  You have to tighten them after 50 miles.  That is part of the reason I want them gone.  Thanks for all of your compliments on my car.  It is great to know people enjoy it as I do.

I went with 15X7 in the front and 15X8 in the rear.  I'm keeping the tire size a secret for now though.  I don't want you to be able to picture the entire thing in your heads.  I want you guys to be suprised when you see the pics.

  April i bet you just might like the way those 15x7s and 15x8s will compliment the new rake 8). Anyone who wouldn't give you the time of day with that ride at any cruise night is just a fool.
