    Jim, I think it would be great if you let this one thread follow the car all the way until its done...Every time you make a change to the car just dig this thread up and post your progress.

    I'm thinkin on 15 inch rims for this car, at least 7 inches wide, but I have plenty of time to find them. they would make the car set better I think...

    FYI ... the front & rear suspension as well as the entire rearend were the original 4-lug parts from my 71 Grabber. I had upgraded your shell to 5-lug & disc brakes so I swapped everything over to my Grabber ....

    Jim, does your shell have a steering column yet? I've got a complete one if you need it.

    No problem ... I'll dig up the matching door locks that go with the ignition key. It has a perfect directional switch in it too (y)
