Default teaser; with unknow finish date???

So, I know its a bit soon to even post this. But I was taking a break and email these photos to a friend and figured I would post these up and see what you guys think. Here are the wheels before I even began to pull the fenders.


The roll on the Passenger side rear went smooth and required very little body work.

But the drivers side was a pure nightmare and got all @#$% up. There were signs of filler so the metal had already be worked and must have been a little on the fatigued side.

Here is the passenger side rear after body work.

Today I started pulling the passenger side front. Got it to fit and bottom out on suspension not tire. now just need to do some body work, pull the drivers side front and weld the tears on the drivers side rear. no 240v at the house I live in right now so that's going to hold me back for a few weeks.




Oh yeah here's what the car looked like before I lost my mind.I'm sure there are those who think I should have left it alone but where's the fun in that.

looks great. I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure if I want to run spacers and pull my fenders, or just leave it alone. It looks flush right now as it is.

Thanks, guys. I will keep you guys up to date, the hardest part is remembering to take pictures of the process.

SC51, no it's just a indeed cup holder from car mate. Has that VIP table feel to it and I needed a passenger side cup hold since the factory one hits my screen on my deck.

BigGreen, The old equips were 18x8.5 +11 on 215/40/18 and 18x10 +18 on 225/40/18 and the new amistads are 19x10 -18 and 19x10 -28 on 225/35/18.

once again thanks everyone for all the positive vibes.

Wow.. looks awesome... You do your own alignment too? Where did you get the tool? Most tool i've seen were only for 18" wheels. I've been looking for one to try to do my own alignment
