They look like impala SS wheels, right?
Great thread! Hopefully Ill have something more than a painted frame and a engine on a stand to post some day. These eagle alloy 225 wheels look killer, think I might need some!

Re: 73-87 before and after pics

dropped my kid at school this morning....
thought about buying needed tools for 5/7 drop thats in the mail...
then opted to go home instead and order some front end parts instead.
pulling into driveway, and notice the xmas tree that i put out there in my pass window....i thought i cut the turn too tight, grabbed the tree and that was it.
when i stop truck and look back, i notice a red jeep connected to the bed of my truck.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
