Hey man, I think you got my address wrong. Looks like they shipped them to you instead of me.....

[907rs]

Thanks colt,
Yeah I did it myself. It's not really that difficult of a job. I've just gotta get motivated and finish the crossmember. I'd post pics here but dont want to get Ralph-slapped for being off topic.

[907rs]

Yeahh... those would look sweet tucked under the quarters of that 2nd gen allen.

Bill,

Ralph-slapped? Not by me! I've been known to make an off topic post or two myself. Go ahead and post the pics, afterall it's your thread.

Bill - I noticed in your signature you have Famosa's, but are your wheels fontana's? I have been looking at getting the Fontana's. I really like them now that I see them. Can't wait to see them under the car. Any pic's of the fronts and their size (245?).

Thanks,Kevin

I was in a hurry when I typed my sig. Its fixed now. My car's burried in the garage right now, but I'll try and get some mock-up pic's of the wheels and tires under the car in a few days.

My next step is to mock-up the wheels and tires to measure for the rear end, then save some more money.

I haven't ordered the fronts yet as I am working from the rear to the front of the car. I want to have all the mods done to the front suspension before I figure size and back spacing.

Colt, I was really apprehensive about cutting my car up first too, I just read everything related to it I could find and also looked at all of the pictures I could find.

Here are a few of my latest pics;

Bill they look great...that's the wheel I was going to go with untill I found my Pentias. What are your plans for front/rear suspension??

It was great talking with you Thursday!! My wife couldn't beleive everything we have in common!! I'll try to send some pics of the roll bar in a couple days.

Thanks Anthony!
Yeah it is kind of wierd, I actually have some family in Oregon too!

I've got the DSE 3" leaves for the rear, and want to go with the true coilover kit along with the uppers and lowers. I already have an 1-1/8" sway bar on the car from a previous upgrade I did years ago.

I'll probably be pickin' your brain when I get to the front-end mods as it looks like yours is complete.
