Got a new set of tires, found a set of factory rims, (aluminum; having them polished and coated), and found a replacement mirror. As well as getting my rear emblem installed today. We are rolling.
Oh, I've got plans...!

Is that a wheel spacer I see laying on da floor under the front end?
That means the rims are not correct for the car....they won't clear the brake calipers without the spacers....not really a good idea to use them, imho....
But the car definitely looks like a good project!

Joel, that is a wheel spacer, (you sure don't miss anything). I agree about never using spacers. Nothing like adding more stress on everything.

Looking good! From what I see around the emblem, the paint looks pretty good! Everything you accomplish just sparks you to keep going!

We are still trying to figure that out ourselves
..........if you do figure it out let us know........(just kidding). The administrators will help you if need be. Just ask them.

Some of your problems may be related to fuses or shorts.
Do the investigation to find the real problem before you replace parts.
I hate electrical problems, but they can be solved.

TJ,
I agree with the concerns of the wheel spacers. But I run them on mine since I love the look of the 70's Cragar. They just wont fit without a spacer. This makes me drive a little slower out on the road and it might cause you to not be able to keep up if traveling in a caravan to an outing. (some of these guys fly) I keep a torque wrench in the car and I check them about every 100 miles or so. Never had them come loss yet but I continue to check them. Wish there was another way to get around it. If you dont have to use a spacer dont! If you do have to have one, keep your eye on them! By the way, the car looks good and I like the pick of tires!
