Welcome to the site.
That is going to be an insane ride when finished.
Nice.
What's the full specs on those tires? Are they 17" soft 8s?
Thanks

[sixty5hellvell]

you are right 17 x 9 soft eights, rears are going to be widened 2 inch's. I cant afford nice wheels so this is what I have, probably stronger than most aluminum wheels anyways. This is only a 20 grand build so I have to compromise on some things.

this is sweeeeeet cant wait to watch this build

[sixty5hellvell]

can I pull enough air under my car to properly cool it in a rear mounted radiator setup? I am running a 31 X 19 universal 2 core aluminum radiator a 16 electric fan and shroud. I am going to have naca ducts with hose bringing in air from the windows also but would like to get some input from someone who has done this maybe.

[sixty5hellvell]

Here is the start of my air dam, it will be braced from behind and will have an adjustable rubber bottom. Any ideas on how to finish the rear mount radiator setup? Any input is appreciated.

They look great regardless of cost. Anyway, I'm getting the same ones for my ride. I'm also looking at getting them widened.
Where are going to be getting them widened? Wheelcraft?

Your build is lookin good man, great work.

Man that is nice. I dig that cage, and those wheels look awesome. See you sneaking a carbed LS under that front bracing; nice.
