Guest JAMIE T Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 These pix are with the wheels just sitting under the car. None of the front suspension is in place in these pics. But Mike, you will be glad to hear that I have FINALLY gotten the suspension under it now(well mostly). I'm still waiting on hubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 That looks wicked man..... what kind are those?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Centerline Meteors. In 18"x9.5" with a 5.5" BS. The tires are 265/35 P-Zero's. I'm actually putting 275-295's on the rear when all is said and done. The rear wheel is sitting alittle out in the pic due the fact that the rear wheel studs have not been converted to 5-lug in the pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8dats Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 its about time!! but it looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToplessZ Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Well It sure took long enough. J/K those wheels look ultra sharp. Im also interested in what you did for front reinforcement in the radiator area looks like some custom work poking out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drftn280zxt Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 do they rub, or do you have stiff suspension to prevent that from happening? Also with those how much ground clearance do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Nice stance. Wonder how low you'll actually be able do drive with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JAMIE T Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Thanks guy! I don't know if they rub. I doubt they will since my fenders are cut-out and re-welded. Plus I have fairly stiff suspension going under it. 300# 8" coilovers in the rear and 225# 10" coilovers in the front. The entire front frame was cut out and replaced with 2.5" sq. .120 tubing all the way back to the rear "sub-frame". The rad. support gave way to 3/4" tubing. You can see in the pics slightly the angled forward tubes that attach the new rad. support to the frame rails. Connecting the two frame rails together is 1 5/8" DOM tubing, .120 wall. The frame rails are blended into the fender wells, no seams. All of the seams have been welded and ground smooth. All of the holes have been welded and smoothed. It's come a long way fromt he rusted out, doodoo brown, BONE STOCK car that it was. As for actual ride height, we'll have to see on that. I'm aiming for it to about what it is in the pics though. I'm not putting the floors in until the exhaust is run since I'm going to make tunnels for the exhaust to tuck up into the floor alittle. Dual 2.5" going into a single 3" or 4". I've got pics of the under hood that I'll work on getting up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dot Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 That looks really nice. I know your still doing body work but with the colour off on this monitor it looks like the paint scheme on the shark prototype Corvette from the sixties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
