Re: "One really slow build" thread
what trans is it? a long tail th-400? if so that looks really sophisticated for just putting the 400 in i have a th-400 reverse manual valve body with trans brake but its a short tail i just made a tubular x-member bolted it in and took a piece of 3/4 inch plate bolted it to the trans mount and slid the x-member up under it tached it in pulled it back out and welded it up it worked great.

Re: "One really slow build" thread
They look very similar, but I don't think they are exactly the same
Mine have polished Bolt simulators & the spokes curve more, but I could be wrong.... It's just so hard to tell in pics I'll try to get some better pics of my wheels tomorrow |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
Ok, just found a better pic of the ones you found
I dunno what the deal is with mine having the polished bolts, but I think the reason my spokes are more curved could be a off-set difference ![]() Last edited by Spray-Bomb; 07-17-2007 at 10:31 PM. |

Re: "One really slow build" thread
1. Where are you getting your bags from? I ordered a couple more from suicidedoors and haven't gotten them yet, maybe the backorder is why.
2. Red bumper looks better than no bumper at all ![]() 3. You're supposed to take the Christmas lights down after Christmas ![]()
