Thanks everyone, the wheels are 9.5 17 and 10.5 18. Bought them from oe wheels super cheap. Tires are 335's out back . The best is still to come and ill post pics asap. Putting a 408 in her

[ls1_bean]

If I remember correctly about 1.5 to 1.75 but was really more, few friends bought them a while back I went thru Hell and back trying to find a set took almost two months to recieve

Car looks amazing, only advice I'd offer is to swap the red wire loom out with black..other than that it's a gorgeous car.

Did you like the outcome of the VHT paint for your calipers? I need to redo mine and from the pics the paint looks like it came out real nice

[ramairracer]

Looks good ..
Two things it looks dangerous having two harbor freight jacks Being the only thing holding the car..
And second ditch that red loom under the hood

The jacks seem unsafe I agree I always tell them it makes me nervous but they never listen hahha nothings ever happend. I am waiting on a few more parts to get here so we start the 408 build. I'll upload pics tm of all the goodies goin in the car
