Yeah I was in the same boat on whether to go 20's or 18's, I went with the 18's just to play it safe but I'd say you'll be fine with yours. Did you get yours in yet? It took me about 10-11 weeks to get mine.

WOW... the racelines where $1530 for 2-20x12. I was thinking the racelines where priced better than that. Damn I will be looking for a set of 20x12 next year. I better start saving!!

The LS2 runs! we got it fired up, with the Speartech wiring harness and computer tune it was a piece of cake and fired right up at the first turn of the key! I couldn't believe it. Only had one problem and that was a wrong/bad throttle pedal for the drive by wire throttle body. But it was a simple fix.

I like watching guys rebuild their rides on here, but I love the over the top ones. Yours qualifys. Good job! Do you ever feel over whelmed because now every step has to be special, or custom to meet the quality of the engine, suspension, and frame? (if that makes sense!)

Thanks it's appreciated! and yes over whelmed is a very good description lol. I wanted to fix my cab rust and have it back on the road by now, it turned into this and now there isn't much I don't have to put attention to detail into so that it all flow's well together and trying to keep it at as much of a budget as I can. It's a lot of work, head scratching, researching and stress at times but it will all be worth it.

For some reason my video won't load I'll have to figure out why not.

widewhite70 · 04-13-2012, 09:29 PM

This is the steering shaft firewall adapter the James milled down on his lathe, it worked out great

widewhite70 · 04-13-2012, 09:33 PM

Oh yeah and my gauges showed up today! I'm going with the glove box door gauge cluster idea, still trying to decide where to position them.
