I believe the rears are 275/60s. One of the things I would do is trim the new radiator shroud ends. From the back corner on the radiator side I would cut diagonally towards the front to get rid of the height change. The outside edge being lower than the middle part bows the piece of metal.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Thanks man. The rears are 15x8 (5.5" offset) with 275/60 MT ET streets
I wanna do that along with filling in the Pontiac black.
Thanks man...I'm glad all the hard work paid off. The car was dirty as hell when i first picked it up last year.

In the last two pictures you posted you can see what I am talking about. You made that piece to hold the filter / radiator support that I am guessing was supposed to be flat. Where you attached it to the top piece of the body it changes levels as it goes across the car from left to right. It is low, high in the middle, and then levels out again. I think the piece you made is too long (horizontally / fender to fender direction) That when you screwed it down it bowed the metal making it into an upside down U.
I think you should trim from the rear corners (rear as in where it holds the radiator) forward (towards where it is attached) diagonally to make it more V shaped. That should make the piece mount flat.
I can mod your pictures, but I think that should be clear. That's the only thing I would do to it other than reroute the fuel lines and tuck the wires.

I want to do the the fuel line relo mod...but i don't have fender liners on my car. Is there anyway i can cut the lines down and reinstall the stock fittings? Like heat plastic up some and slip it over and add a hose clamp or something?
