Im going through that same problem right now! Wheels werent ever made in the size I ordered, they had to make a new cad. Then they were out of the 3d forgings needed to make my wheels, been almost 6 months for me.. LOL!

Your wheels turned out great, going to keep an eye on this build. Everything looks great thus far!

Thanx, we should be making more headway this week and next as my fuel cell should be here by weeks end and after we get mounts built I will blow the back apart and paint it all nice n black. Also will be starting the front suspension up this week as well. Bought some maint. Parts for it too just to get it all nice and fresh

Small little update, cut the spring pockets off and plated them. We will be building tubular uppers and lowers and bag brackets instead of going with a conventional stock style suspension. Uppers are built and we are waiting on ball joint cups to come back from the machine shop to build the lowers. Also got the 20 gallon fuel cell in from jegs and got the mounts built for it with some dimple dyed aluminum staps!
