I paid $200 for them with tires and a parts truck, but I'm not even sure if I want to sell them......I need something to put on it when I park it for the winter....no way am I leaving my aluminum wheels sitting outside all winter long...at $500 a piece they'll be sleeping with me this winter! lol....but I'll keep you in mind...ya never know!

SSDELUX....I dont know if you've ever been there before, but the Barrie automotive flea market is on next weekend sept 9-12, and is an awesome place to find some wheels, tires, or anything else you might ever need for your truck, car, or whatever. I'm def. going again this year!

Re: My 86 build

"It only took maybe an hour or so to prep it and put the resin and fiberglass cloth on, but the bodywork was alot longer. There's over a half gallon of Rage in it so between bondo-ing and block sanding probably 8-10 hrs, and it needs a few more to get it ready to paint."

You can get a "coverlay" for around $100...They fit great.

The dash does look great though. Any aluminum dash pictures guys?

Re: My 86 build

just checked the ones I have

My extra front shocks are 15" extended and 10" compressed
My rear are 23" extended and @15" compressed
those measurements are center of eye to center of eye
I ran my spare fronts on the back of my crew after the flip, I'm going to weld on new mounts to my axle and make some frame mounts inside the frame where I can run the longer shocks in the rear

Re: My 86 build

the small block one should fit since the big block uses the same compressor
