Didn't get too much done this week. was raining too hard to begin body work so I started my search for some replacement rims to get the snowflakes out of my life...
I spent the last 3 weeks looking for some stock chevy rally wheels that were 15" and all i found locally were 5X5 pattern or 6-lug truck rims...
with some dumb luck though, i stumbled across a set of 15x7 Pontiac Rally II's.
I thought that these were the PERFECT solution, so that I can keep the pontiac heritage visible from the outside of the car, and also get rid of these horrible snowflakes (not bad rims, but they ONLY belong on a trans-am... NOT a truck...)
I just mocked the wheels up to make sure they fit okay, even though they came off the same type of car i tore apart for the build... (1977 formula firebird... my donor was a 78 formula...)
Here are the rims i bought...
will look great after some sanding, paint and new rubber... also may replace the rings and caps but details for later...
Also, when the clouds dissapeared for a minute i jumped under the truck and drilled some holes to install my new battery box from ebay...
Its a cool box, very functional...
drops off the frame for easy access to battery...
but the paint is very thin, scratched off easily...
but its under the truck, i don't care if the paint is perfect...
