New Wheels
I got wheels yesterday - lookin good! I can't believe I finally am to the point where I can roll a complete body around (to bad I'm not driving a complete blazer, but soon enough)! Hopefully I can start wiring soon. I'm building a new garage for her right now, and when that's done I can make some serious progress.

Re: New Wheels
Pretty dang sweet! Your wheel stop is scaring me though - don't let that beauty go rolling down the drive!
You'll be driving it before you know it!

Re: New Wheels
I will admit that I usually prefer rides that fly at a lower altitude......
But that's freakin awesome looking

Re: New Wheels
I have 37 x 12.5 x 20 tires and a 6" lift. The sledge hammer doesn't make the best stop, but we had about six people standing there gawking hopefully ready to catch her. We pushed it out to see if it would fit through the garage opening without airing down the tires. We made it by maybe 1" without the roll bar. I'm trying to get her done for a car show in November so we will see if I make it (I may be taking her in a trailer)!
