Watched and enjoyed this build for a long time.
When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a hippy.

Just be careful with tall RCAs and high offset wheels.

I have 1.5" RCAs and my tie rod is nearly touching the rim. Like I cant have wheel weights on the inside of the rim.

This is where you get crafty and find a cheaper solution. Carlos over on Ratsun made one using something Honda?
I'll try and dig up a pic.

I saw that!
The first I posted is only 147.00 bucks.
I still think it may be cheaper to make one.
Give me some time, I figure something out that we all can do.

So I made a hatch back card to cover the hole back there.
I started with a piece of chloroplast.
Got it down to the right size.
Image
Then I took some particle board about a 1.8 thick.
And wrapped it with speaker box cover!
Image
No more hole is the back,
I think it looks really good.

Jeez man. I didn't realize your goon was so clean in the engine bay. Good job. You've come a long ways.

Thanks, but I am going to metal flake it soon.
The white looks good, stains easy.

We are moving so no more working on car.
I have to wait till the middle of next month now.
Then it is on like Donkey Kong!

Consider it a good rest from working on it. You'll be all sorts of fired up once you can wrench again.

Moving sucks ass.
But the 510 is coming in handy, moved two closets full of stuff in it.
Awesome!
I am afraid my 150 gallon fish tank won't fit in my car.
Hahahahah.
