        Probably would have cost the same for any wheel. Widened rears and refinishing/paint, plus they most likely don't make r's in that width/offset and he stated his were a little rough.

        OP, Nice work BTW, you answered my question about wheel repair places in dfw, thanks. I'm going to swing by and get a quote at lunch today.

            Keith, for some reason I thought you had gotten rid of your car. Looks very nice, as well as making me jealous of the shop space.

I called and was told they were not ready and would be finished in the morning. Three hours later I got a call saying they were finished. I drove there from Haslet only to find out they weren't. No worries they delivered them to me at my house the next day.

                  Cost? Well, I started with some pretty rough wheels. I think the widening fee was $230 each. To have them widended, and all four stripped and refinished cost me around $900.

                    You are quite welcome Keith!

                    That car is going to be badass, your attention to detail is something that most people dream of.

                    I can't wait to see it finished.

                      damn those are some classy bulkheads... very nice. This is the way I'd build it also, I'm so anal it would take years.

                        This is true.
                        Those electrical couplings are the bees knees. And that car (even for a low mileage unit) is clean as hell. The undercarriage is damned near spotless, aside from the wheel wells.

                          Keith, you planning on converting that thing over to a hydraulic clutch?

                            i squeezed in tailpipes on my car with 275/50/15 mickey thompsons, and i had to "clearance" the tailpipes some.

                            BTW, nice looking rear suspension setup ! Whole build looks top notch.

                              Hence the reason I have been building this thing for 4 years. Hell this is the third or fourth harness I have built.

                              You are welcome to stop by tomorrow and check it out if you would like. I will be in there plugging away to get it closer to running again.

                              They do great work.

                              I started with a $200 set of 4 and 2 had curb rash, bent rims, a crack or two and we won't talk about the finish. For $900 they look brand new again and are unique (sort of).

                              Yep they both fit now to get the cable length down right and to commit to a design for the plate.

                              Thanks Brooks. If I only had your fabricating skills and tools at my disposal 100% of the time this thing would be an F1 car by the time I was done with it.

                              Getting closer every hour.

                              I am going to get under it tonight and scrub it down with rags and the wet vac. I did the front suspension that way this morning and it looks brand new again.

                              I have thought about it but I have not seen any real good reviews with McCloed's conversion. It may be a cable clutch for a while.

                              I am going to build new exhaust for it anyway. When I ordered the tires and set on the wheel size I knew that nothing back there would work 100% together. I was actually suprised how it all cleared once I pulled the tail pipe out.
                              Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

                                that makes my left leg sore just thinking about it. When I switched from my fox to my vette it was heaven.
