I've been eyein those wheels for a while now, what'd it run to widen them?

Weldcraft was great to work with. When I called to ship them, I was told they were back logged and turn aound time was 5-6 weeks. Received them back in little over 4. Price was $225 per wheel but that varies by your order. www.weldcraftwheels.com

Josh also mocked up the stripe for the front fenders. Color will be silver with a grey pinstripe similar to th Corvette Gran Sport.

Dewitt radiators sent me their 2nd radiator for a G-body today. They are known for Corvette and Tri-five rads and are expanding their product line. This piece is a by-pass unit for an LS conversion, trans cooler with factory disconnects, and dual spal fans. It comes fully assembled and drops right in. I purchased a Cutlas top plate which Josh has so he can spray it with the Emron paint to match the core support

Jeff Schwartz got me in contact with them after a rep called him looking for a G-Body to promote this unit for Dewitt. Wanted a high profile car that would get driven. This car fit the bill. Just another reason for Schwartz Performance to build your chassis. They continue to help me out on many ways and i cannot thank them enough.

do you have to use adapters for the XXR wheels? i didn't think they made them in the gm bolt pattern

These have a dual pattern, including 5x4 3/4. No adapter required. I don't know if all the XXR wheels are this way. They are very limited on backspacing. I needed 1" spacer for the rear and have to machine the hub out to 2" to fit the moser 9".
