wow that looks alot better, nice job

[somethingclever]

Looks nice...do the rears tuck in?

Any spacers?

[frankstang]

Good job. Looks badass !

[50Dro]

Thanks guys! No spacers, and no rubbing in the rear. I didn't mention that I rolled all 4 wheel openings. The fronts are pretty tight and I've lost some paint on the inner front lips during turning I'm guessing but since they're rolled there's no cuts in the tires (yet) and no damage visible at all. The front wheels do rub on the A-arm at full lock (but so did my old wheels) so I may have to look at limiters or removing the plate on the A-arms?

That looks really good with the new tires and wheels.

Like how they are both dished.
Nice work cleaning those parts up, looks like lots of work that paid off.
Stance and how the wheels tuck is really good too.

Thanks!! I'm a big fan of the dished fronts as well although you don't see them that much. I was sweating bullets (or is it Bullitts?:laughing:) thinking that they weren't going to fit. Until the tires were mounted and I set it on the floor I wasn't sure if they'd fit. I only had my research to go on...I'm amazed with all the info out there for this swap!:thmbsup:

Looks great! Nice choice.

[karnutz4]

[ruger77]

That looks soooo good!:goodidea:

[50Dro]

Thanks everyone!! I'm real happy that you all like it!! I'm bummed that it will have to be put away soon...:grumpy:

[Donstang86]

Looks good!:thmbsup: Doing the same conversion on my 86 GT. Current choice of wheels are a set of New Cobra Rs I have. First choice would be a set of 2003 Cobra R wheels.

Thanks for the motivation.
