Well, I'm going to start chopping on mine next weekend. I'd just like to know if I can keep the stock frame rails or if I'll need to go ahead and back half it.

Can you post any pics of the wheel wells please?
Do you know what offset or backspacing the wheels are?
any info would be great, it's pretty hard to go fast on an 8.5" slick.

Well, since you'll be mini-tubbing the car and narrowing your rearend.......... you can go with any combo you want. I'm personally using 15X10 wheels with a 2.8 inch backspace.

It was a corolla, but yeah. I ditched that project last weekend. I came into a pretty good deal on a 81. Since all the parts I've bought aren't corolla specific, I can use the 4 link, coilovers, wheels, rearend blah blah blah for the 81. I'll probably need to get the rearend and axles shortened again, though.
I'm pretty excited.
