I think I'm really liking the weld racing Weldstar wheels (black anodized center). I like the looks of the 3pc RT over the one piece RTS wheels.
For the front "track" wheels they have 4" width. Can also pick up some wider ones for cruising if I want...
If I leave the 9" rear 4th gen length and run the 7.5" back space
But II do have shortened Moser axles from my previous setup that will accomodate a 4" narrowing so I can run a 3.5" back space

I could save you some coin Brian. If you like the looks of them, I have a set of Billet Specialties street lite's that are brand new with 325's on the rear. They are 15x10" though.

Since it was so crappy out yesterday, I spent some time digging for parts.
Found a set of grey interior plastics for sale (mine are tan) and a harwood 3" fiberglass bolton hood too. Really want to run the stock hood, but there just isn't enough clearance to run a proflo type intake. Its not a bad looking hood. Fortunately, parts are local and I pick them up tomorrow

Mocked up a pro-flo intake (thanks for letting me borrow this 1fast bird). Definately wouldn't fit under stock hood, by about 2 1/2 inches . Mounted the cowl hood and have about 1" of clearance now

these big billet atomizer 220lb injectors fit pretty snug on the proflo....
back of driver side rail is pretty close to the windshield wiper motor too...I think it'll fit with a 90* adapter fitting on the return line though.

Looks like a good weekend to blow the dust off the tig and start firing off some welds... gonna hack up my old stainless headers and crossover from the 4th gen and repurpose the bends and tubing as a mock up a new set of headers for this project.
cost of stainless bends is pretty high so I want to mock it up and buy an exact amount or maybe just use the old bends and call it a day
I do have new header and turbo flanges and collector components already

Mounted PS pump...mocked turbos where i want them....not nearly as much room as I hoped. Looks like the charge pipes will have to go down and under the frame rail. connecting the heads to the turbine is gonna be fun 
I need to fab up some sort of mount to lock the turbo into position...may use some plate welded to the shock tower and attach using the compressor cover bolts...not sure yet
may also have to notch the shock tower...need to move turbo back a hair to make sure a 3" downpipe can clear the radiator/fan shroud.
