Pulled her in today, started some fender work and test fitting!
here is how the roll is coming so far, with a little hammer work and a heat gun.
and here is a teaser pic of me doing some test fitment
If you can tell, I also removed the fender guards. It made the body lines pop a little better.1994 LS400

6lug wheels hmm? guess the s13-14 wheel fitment choices weren't enough? ha
Looking good though, you should add a cage in the back, seats are useless anyway.

Alright, so last night I really starting busting my rear end to get this thing ready.
I ran into a problem right off the bat. The factory studs were too long to work with the adapters. Basically, when I'd put the first plate on and bolt it down, the studs stuck out past the first plate, which wouldn't allow the second piece of the adapter to sit flush with the first piece.
After some brainstorming, I figured the best way to do this was to cut them.
I counted how many threads I'd need to remove which was about 6 out back and 4 up front.
Then i took everything off, and threaded a shallow open ended lug nug on the stud (ill say why in a minute)
Oiled it up, took my ziz wheel and went to town. Once I got one cut, i'd file it down and use a wire brush to clean it up a bit. Then I lubed it up with more oil. The reason I left a lug on is so I could oil up the stud, and work the lug in and out, but not taking it fully off the stud, to help clean the threads and make sure the lugs will go back on the studs.
Pops giving me a hand.
So I ended up spending about 3 hours cutting all the studs and getting them right.
Got the adapters on. They are pretty sexy, I like the polished aluminum look.
Wheels are on!
