I love everything you've done. Very nice.

What size wheels did you finally end up with? Earlier you said 18's and 20's...

Do you still have the stock inner fenders on all the corners?

Thanks everyone!

Zoomin, I ended up with 18X8's upfront and 20X10's in the rear. I did nothing to the fenders.

I rolled in out Sunday to clean the garage out and took a few more pics.

One more favor, please - what's the back spacing?

Looks awesome!

Re: 1966 Chevelle Build

That looks so sweet! I'm really leaning towards 18's and 20's on my 40 Ford. I really like how the wheels blend into your car and don't over power the look!

I wanted to do something different with the top radiator hose. I used a polished stainless steel pipe bent at a 45 and cut the ends of the rubber radiator hose. Then I used Billet Specialities hose clamp ends.

Nothing other then getting the back space right. I have a set of wheels that I didn't get it right the first time. When I measured for the back space I didn't include the lip width the complete wheel width with the lip was 11 inches and learned when the manufactures measure the go from the inside of the wheel bead. And since the wheel were custom made they would not take them back so now I have a set of 20x10 wheels I need to sell.

I just found out my old truck is going to be on the t-shirt for a local car show! Six months since I sold it and I'm starting to miss.
