LOVE those wheels. how about some info on offset and spacers required! I automatically assumed that they were a later offset, and not very compatab le for our cars? I guess I am wrong. details PLEASE!

don't ask me for the spacers.. I still don't know. But I have help there..

Fronts 17X7 205-50-17

Rears 17x9 255-40-17

Should be soon, the engine is good to go.. Although now is soon time to start my engine conversion since this took a little longer than expected.. (about 7 months more)

Whoa Chris those are the first picts I saw of the final paint and body work from Los Ponchos! Your other posts were just too long for an old guy like me to wander through to get to the good stuff. Looks like the Mercedes silver came out just right!

Naw... Looks like bad surgery, like a Franken-porsche. Time for a hammer, then some bondo. Or am I just an old-fashioned guy?

I dont like the riveted look on the street... On a track car i can understand it, but why not make the whole fender Dzus removable then? I say lose the rivets.

I'm also not a fan of the rivets. Otherwise though the car looks great! Those brakes are going to be fun!

Its been about a year since I got the flares on there and IF I did bondo them in they would have cracked by now. They have flexed alot as you can see in the third image.. Steel would be my choice if I blend them.. they will do for now at least.

Why not run a line of rivets along the top of the rocker panel to complete the look?
I love those brakes and wheels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
