Re: EagleChief's 1971 Build Thread

So, after some considerations and some talks with my finance manager (wife ), I didn't order the drop kit. It is still a priority on the list, but there are some other issues that are probably going to have to be taken care of first. Mainly, the motor issue. So, we'll save the budget for that big chunk of cost. I'm going to try and get some new tires (hopefully this week) mounted on the new wheels, which, it appears I forgot to mention.

I finally got my wheel replacements! They are an aftermarket set of Corvette Rally's. I bought them used, so I have no idea what brand they are - if that even matters. Anyway, I had them sandblasted and painted here at my work. They were different colors, and some of the paint was starting to peel. So, a new finish was needed. They are 15x7 for the front, and 15x8 for the rear. Here's a couple of pictures of the "in process" wheel finish. I just realized I don't have a picture of the finished product. I'll have to get one.
