Looks killer.   :2thumbs:  What ended up happening with the rear of the quarters?

Well we decided that we'll live with it for the summer... I know that everyone advised that we should have em fixed ASAP... but our worry was that the shop would drag its ass in getting it done and the car would be there til November (trust me the shop owner has screwed us on more than a couple of deadlines which pushed the project back waaay further than it needed to be)... They've been advised of the problem and will fix it at the end of Oct... I know I'm gonna get the "boooo's" from a lot of guys here but my dad has waited over 30 years to drive the car and who are we to deny him of that joy???


If I had a dime for each time I heard that excuse. I despise body shops.

Looks good though.  :2thumbs:

Well the wheels and tires arrived today (exactly 4 weeks from the order date) I can't wait to see what they look like mounted on the car.. so either tomorrow or Wednesday we'll take the set down to the body shop to do a test fit and check the stance of the car to determine if we need to lower it or get the leaf spring lowering kit... more pics coming in the next day or 2

Very cool.  Can't wait to see it on the car.  Is it me or are the front a lot shorter than the back?  Is it just the angle of the pictures, or is this what you wanted?

I like'em.... :2thumbs:

I bet Chris(6t9) would sell you some real nice shiny chrome trim rings for those bad boys.   :D   (little something from another thread)

Those wheels and tires look fantastic!!!

I assume they covered the whole car in plastic prior to spraying the glue for the top?

Car looks awesome, gettin close now. :2thumbs:

Cody, no reason to point out what has already been hashed, stay positive brother, it isn't like you to be that way and that's what separates you from the crowd. :cheers:
I love you man!  :2thumbs:

YES! I will take those tips, how much would you like for them?  I need the exhaust turned down on the charger so the flames don't scar the paint on the rear valance. :D
