Re: Finally done?

That looks great, well worth the 12 year wait. I really like the way it sits, just the right height to me. Are the wheels eight inch on back and seven on front? Corvette wheels? That's the look I want for my 57.

Re: Finally done?

Thanks for all the kind words. It has been a learning experience. Never believe the previous owner that "its in primer and ready for paint". All work was done by me other than the exhaust.

Dodge dakota front, mono springs back, trans am posi rear, 283 (put a 3 in front that eventually). a/c power windows etc.

Yep, 7" front 31/2 b/s 8" rear 4"b/s. rears just fit have to let the suspension sag to get them in.

Again thanks...
