WTF!!!! Since your in a sharing mood, bring that welder over and share some of these welding duties I have for my cab. By the way, normally you get meaner when you get older. Its starts around my age. LOL Good for you bro, that lets your true fans see your ideas, and get inspired by your work and how you do things. Honestly, we all learn from each other. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I went with 18 because I did not want rubberband tires. I've seen 20's with huge tires but the trucks were bagged so they did not have to worry about the truck being too high. I'm not bagged and I like that muscle look on a truck. I wanted to run some meat on the rear. Like this, Its not a chevy but I like how this looks in the rear fender well. I would show the whole truck but Chevy purist may get mad. I'm more a carnut than a chevy nut.lol I do wish it had a little more lip though. I believe this is a 17 if my memory serves me correctly.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Man your hood is awesome. It looks like it is brand new. Those rims are really nice. On your car how much of an offset did you have them do on your rims? Looking to change the offset of a pair of rims I have.

I have a TCI Mustang 2 crossmember which the data says I have a 59 inch track width. You have or had a camaro which would bring you to around a 61 1/2 inch track width. If I were clipping a 55-59 chevy truck. The clip I tell people to use is 78-88 Monte Carlo, Gran Prix, Regal etc. which would give you a 58 inch track width. The track width makes it a nice choice for Advanced Designs or Task Force trucks. The camaro is a great clip the only reason I use the monte carlo over it is the track width. How did you decide to fix your issue with your wheels? Last edited by Kabwe; 04-20-2012 at 05:42 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Thank's for the info, I assume that is wms to wms? Not positive yet,but am leaning toward cutting a few inches from center of the clip, i am doing a lot of measuring right now to figure out if (and how much)the firewall/tunnel will need to be cut since the engine will sit higher as I bring it together, the heater hose inlet/outlets are already very close to the pass. side control arm now so as you well know "one mod leads to another" regardless of how I go,the goal is to be able to turn lock to lock aired out when finished.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Yes they are 2 piece , they are 7" wide w/3.75" b.s. which puts me 2.75" wider than you are currently. What did that cost you? if you don't mind me asking?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Maybe i'll scout out a Monte/regal clip, (unfortunately i have dropped spindles and all the rebuild parts for the clip i have.) do you happen know what the distance between the upper control arm bushings is on the Monte clips? are the rear steer? i need to compare these measurements to what i have ,it may be i end up with the same challenges either way.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
to have my backspaced changed I believe he charged me 120 bucks for both wheels. If it was more it was not much more.

Kabwe, Great progress as always. I also love the choice on the color and the wheels. It will look great. Keep up the great work.
