The Project Pad

hoop. the main part of a rollcage.

ok, so i got a pair of wheels first thing this morning. man they are chiny. i like them

Janis asked about fitment of this wheel and the factory G60 front brakes. well, here it is on the car, plenty of room. and this is the 8.5" rim. these are for the rear of my car but i was trial fitting for Janis' sake to make sure they clear for him.

i actually have a 7.5" rim arriving tomorrow for the fronts. but these look like they gonna work out and look good. not painting the center star either.










and here is a couple inside view shots. plenty of clearance here for brakes.

i was just messin with the main hoop comment....

...i just wanted to see pics.


rims look sick, but you already know this

oh yeah, they barely weigh anything, either....

nice wheels. i love this project

Those wheels look awesome.

Those are sweet, I think they would look sick if you color matched the lips to your car, but... maybe when they get old and worn out.

Something like this, I think it looks sick:

^^^ I was thinking color-matched centers. You could do almost anything with those and that car and it would look good. Black centers, color-matched, or just they way they are...its going to look awesome no matter what.

sorta like this?

i did a poll awhile ago about the color matching of the wheels.

i will wait until they are mounted with slicks and see then. but so far they look bitchin....

Yeah...if you get a side shot of them (and the whole car) and when tires are mounted, I can pchop them really close to what they should look like if you want. Just let me know.

i will. tires are in a few weeks.... but that would be neat. i MS Painted that color onto there. i have no P-chopper skillz....

wheels on your car looks sweet, only little trouble it looks like its sticking way out of fender

yeah. that is the 8.5" wide rim for the rear. the 7.5" gets here tomorrow....

i got the skinnier wheels for the front so that i will tuck a bit more and have better turn radius and not rub....

the 7.5" should make it right to if not just barely past.....

I will wait to see how 7.5 fit, if they almost fit under fenders I will roll them

took out windshield, prepping for Lexan....

had to strip the front end, so i got a couple shots of it all bare. looks mean.

and i keep working away at the car-diet.

Very nice. It definitely looks all business.

and the 7.5" on the car. will tuck just fine for Janis i do think.

Looks sweet, 8) and it will go under fenders thanks a lot for sharing this info :thanks:

anything to help..... :cheers:

dang it Aaron, those tubes give me bad ideas.... and so does this Tig welder!

I got bored the other night

Attachment ( 15178 ) : colormatch-2.jpg

hmmmm. that looks different. moreso than i thought it would. maybe we try that again after they have tires on them in a couple weeks....

and here is something i made today for it. zerb, you should know this one

drivers side motor mount.

its heavy duty too. all 1/4" tube and plate.

and for shiz n giggles.... i was dinkin around, and i am able to lift the front of the car off the ground. with motor and trans. by myself.

and i am no Mike-Toxcheap super sized guy either. not small, but not abnormally large either. but i have a feeling that the car is not going to be too awful heavy.

lifted the front of the thing with all four wheels on the ground, motor and tranny bolted in?


cause if so.....damn......
