Finally!

After nearly 7 months of looking for a car I bought my new baby.

From fellow forum member "fella" I picked this up for $1800 and as far as I can tell it was quite the deal. Whole new suspension kit in the back, new rims and tires, stock rims and tires for backup...

I look forward to many hours and posts around here getting general help in information from you guys...

In the meantime, does anyone know where I can get some wheel wells?

Conrats! Are the wheel wells rusty? You coould do what I do. I go to the scrap yard find a good seven cut the wells off and then weld them into the chassis. Not hard at all

They're non existent... Ride home (WI to MN) threw a TON of sand up into the engine bay... No biggie, if I can't find any around here I'll fabricate some out of fiberglass or plywood, and give it a good wash before installing.

Never heard of plywood wheel wells. Any engine bay pics?
