Re: Project O.G. - My First Ever Build

As far as wheels go. I'd like to have 2 sets for different looks. A set of steelies that I could run with or without hubcaps for the original look and a five spoke of some sort (leaning towards TT2 or similar) for the classic hot rod look. I'd be wanting to run a little wider in the back to compensate for the wider track width in the front plus I just like the wider look in the back. With the five spoke wheel, I'm leaning toward 17's or 18's all around or the 18/20 combo.

Budget wise (500 or 2000) I assume you meant without wheels, 2000 isn't out of the question I just don't want to do it over and over again till I get it right. If it takes more to get it done right the first time I'd rather do that. Also, I'd like to have the full Hotchkis setup and rack & pinion steering but that is way out of my budget for now.

As far as a direction for this truck, I am more interested in it being fun to drive (cornering included) than laying frame or straight line speed.

Thanks guys
