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

dude, you should change your project name to project "american graffiti"

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:sexy:

Re: "One really slow build" thread

Re: "One really slow build" thread
