Well, I got the bracket and booster painted and re-mounted



I also put her back on the ground so I could look at the clearance. I have around 5 in of room but I have these old tires are 29 in so my clearance will be and inch or two lower.





I really need to decide on the wheels, I keep going back and forth on 18's and 20's. I am actually sick of trying to figure it out, but I have the doors and fenders wet sanded and they will be painted soon so it is time to decide!!!

The booster looks right at home on the firewall.
I'm with Mike the 20s seem to have a much wider selection than 18s.
That has to be your decision though.

Sounds like good progress on the body panels. You are so close.....

Yeah, I noticed that... I gotta say I like the way the 20's fill the fender, but running 4" of sidewall is something I have never done before and honestly I wonder if it will affect ride quality.

honestly, I like the coys but it will be a long time before I actually buy some.
It will be one of my last purchases. I really don't want to do it twice,

Put in the speaker enclosures. I decided to wait on a speaker box behind the seat and utilize the space for storage for now, the bolt holes for the gas tank stuck out pretty bad so I had a piece of metal bent to cover them.
