Nice set of wheels. Truly enjoying this thread. Get the wheels on and show us some pictures.

**GMracer** · 04-09-2008

Wheels look awesome, great design and backspacing, can't wait to see them mounted.

**69TAPoser** · 04-10-2008

They are dirty and my black lug nuts are on order...but the rears are on!

I nailed the back spacing, but the aftermarkt quarters have a little more lip than original, so I may need to trim a 1/4" off each lip.

I always get my "odd" fittings from:

http://www.godmanhiperformance.com/

They are called line clamps (I drilled and tapped my frame for them) and they have a good selection of sizes, just search on "line clamps" on their site.

All 4 wheels mounted with new black lug nuts...

rollin', rollin', rollin'...

Also note the tinted window glass (from Frank at Prodigy Customs).

damn thats looking good Phil ive been following this from the begining...seats came out really nice..!!

**Young Gun** · 04-26-2008

that seat looks awsome! this build is going really well! cant wait to see it done!

**blissbsm** · 04-28-2008

Last time I checked, you could only get it for the hardtops. I really wanted it for my car.

I just ordered a set from frank @ Prodigy for my 67 vert bird

**MrQuick** · 07-03-2008

looking great Phil,

one suggestion is to get that fuel line up over the pinch a bit. You don't want the lowest part of your car's body being fuel line.

I was going to say the exact same thing. Needs to be as tucked away as much as possible

**69TAPoser** · 07-05-2008

Thanks for the feedback guys. I took your advice and flipped the clamps the other way to move the line up behind the body seam:

test fit the b/b core and cover:

**Young Gun** · 07-05-2008

looks awesome! love the new logo!

**69TAPoser** · 08-26-2008

Okay, back on the '69. I sold my summer driver '68 Firebird (aka "The Distraction") over the weekend. No more "other" cars until I am done with the '69. My wife even made me promise her.

Fuel line is now complete:

The line looks tight here, but it is not...plenty of clearance:

Also installed the headers...one step closer to getting th motor fired up...

...darn dust. See what happens when you don't work on it for 8 weeks???

I also order my Procar seats today. I hope to have pics of them installed this weekend.
