na man, been kinda busy with the motor and stuff so the paint still looks like total ***.

polished the lips with some metal polish, they look new. snagged some dunlops today for the wheels. EVERYTHING is dirty, lol. ghetto midnight garage photoshoot -



EDIT - car is jacked up in the pics, just in case anyone cant tell. when i figure out how to make these fit, it will be slammed into the 6th dimension.

the front looks sunken? lol. its like an inch out of the fender. maybe it looks wierd cause the car is on jackstands in that pic. ill get some more after i get it running and stuff.

they should fit a little better after i lower the car down and it cambers in, we shall see. i want to pull the front fenders to fit the 18x9.5 -8s and get the 7.5s rebuilt to 12" and put a 50mm flare on the back. gotta find somwhere that dosent rape me on wheel half prices.

it shouldnt rub. i thought you guys knew better than that. maybe if i had solid rear axle.

you can jack up the rear sus to see if it will rub or not... the wheels continue to angle in the lower it goes... camber.. etc..

na man, when i say a business card fitting in the gap, i mean if you hold the card at 45% angle along the inside of the fender. not like straight across, its tucking bout 1/4 of the tire.

but yea its gonna get lowered so ill have to play with it a little more. probably .5 more camber or so.
