            Yeah that's pretty badass, definitely tossing old school muscle flavor into the mix.

                Should still have loads more room to go down, couldn't really tell because the car was laying on the jack, even with it all the way down.

                          Thank you! In the way of updates, I had to design yet another adapter bracket to make the rears sit properly, and those are being fabricated at this moment. Should be done by Wednesday this week, at which point I should be able to get everything installed and finally get the whole shabang working.

                          Weird thing is when I dumped the front, I was expecting a fair amount of negative camber to result, but instead I'm left with some very bizarre positive camber, which is wreaking havoc on my current tires. Time to get a few pieces of steel machined for my camber plates as well, I guess.

                          This week's paycheck should also allow the order of the first pair of wheel adapters, so stay tuned for some wheel test fits, as well as a full build thread when it's done. Cheers!

                              Believe they're most common on muscle cars, originally by Halibrand. There are several companies building reps now: American Racing, Vintage Wheel Works, etc.

                                At first I thought they were the shelby "elinor" wheels but something didnt seem quite right... I think its because they are full bronze rather than polished lips. Thanks!
