You've got 5 lug up front? I still have 4 lug. There's not much available for 4 lug, just a bunch of old ugly crap.

Guess I need to figure out what I have. Actually, pretty sure the previous owner swapped everything out to GSLE stuff.

Even then, I still don't see many wheels available in 4 lug.

If you call Holeshot or Bogart they can make any wheel they carry any bolt pattern! Especially with Holeshot, they are very cool and know imports very well. Money talks and bullsh--t walks....but, you knew that already.

Yep, I didn't even think about that. But yes you're right, they were very pleasant to deal with!

Got both tub models done today and they're fitting nice and snug to the quarter panel. It was pretty tricky getting them fitted since the quarter obviously isn't straight.

I'll buy the sheet metal next weekend and get them traced out, cut and welded in.

I've been instructed by the local raceshop to use silicone between the tub and quarter panel..

Makes sence, welding the tubs to the quarters would trash the paint on the other side would it not

how does it get tricky? just deciding how to run it? I've got a pretty good imagination?

Should I use the same 22 gauge metal or should I use some thing aluminum sheeting?

remember, I want things nice and sealed/quiet in there

That looks really nice Eric. For a self thought fabricator you're doing a damn fine job.

OK, back to cleaning rotors

With 4" exhaust and sheet metal, there's no such thing as, "Quiet".

Looks good Eric. Some plastic loom over the wiring would tidy things up and I'm sure you're not done yet and was planning on that anyway.

What do you guys use to coat your wheel wells? I hope to pick something up locally tommorow at the auto parts store or lowes. I'd hate to use undercoating, that stuff is just nasty.
