Pretty cool. You did right with the polished lip. That's gonna look great.

Cobra calipers look bitchin'. What brackets did you use?

Also, I did a little work on the old car this weekend too...

Perfect. That's the way I'd have done it too. That's gonna be cool.

Yeah. I have some studs coming too since it requires longer studs. The rears will be fine since im using the AJE suspension and the 8.8 rear end

Think I’m gonna have to do a front end kit on this thing. Got the wheels mounted with brakes today. But man they rub the control arms like crazy. I think it will be different when there is an engine in it making the suspension come down and compress. But man. Doesn’t look good.

So on to other things for now. May look into some different style upper control arms at the least.

But on a positive note. The wheels and brakes look great.

Got the left lower patch panel in on the floor boards for the kick panel part.

Working on the drivers side tomorrow I think.

Gotta get some money together for the front suspension. Looks like my best bet will be the AJE conversion for the front too. Guess I may swell match the front and rear kits lol.shit

What backspace did you get for those wheels? You need around 4.75 to clear the upper control arm. If those are off-the-shelf latemodel wheels, you're going to need spacers (more likely adapters) if you stick with stock style front suspension.

I think I’ll end up going with the aftermarket stuff. These are just kind of off the shelf wheels. It’s all good

you'll "need" a spacer on the AJE as well, it's made for a zero offset wheel.

Oh. Well shit. What if I used the 97-98 spindles. Apparently those sit a bit farther out than the 94-95 spindles. My offset on the wheels I got is like 24.

The 96 up spindles use a different offset on the tie rod end mounting location from what I remember. I know in the fox world the 94-95 spindles are preferred for bump steer and alignment stuff.

According to this guy I know who’s been selling me stuff. He said the 96-98 spindles are a few mm wider than the 94-95s.
