    I sure will, I'm on a drill rig for a couple more weeks but I'll post them when I get home. I think the rear footprint gave the transmission a bit of a work over it needs a new pump now.

    I'll be running some HP wheels. They are 18x9 all the way around. Going to go with a 265/40/18 up front and a 285/35/18 out back. No pics though, car's suspension is in pieces still.

    I'm running 16X8 Ion wheels with Buick center caps, they have that OEM look. 225/50s up front and 245/50 out back. I added disk brakes up front and 11 inch drums on the rear. Stops on a dime handles surprisingly well and has that "Buick Ride" you got to love. I'm just finishing off rebuilding the front end with new bushings, ball joints and rod ends. Be already for summer cruising with my girl at my side.

    I'm building a yellow 70 GSX clone. I was thinking about those same wheels and then make my stripe the same color as the wheel centers... What do ya think?

    Here is another thought I'm concidering. I would really like to get 15x10 ralleys but they are hard to find. I have 295/50/15s for the back that will go on 10" rims and 245/60/15 for the front that I plan to put on 8" rims

    Sorry bro, Jack gets his wish... White GSX clone slammed in the weeds with the Boss wheels. It will be bad! Tires are on, I'll post a cell phone picture. the half primered heap looks a lot different.

    The 15x10 ralleys are about 250 per wheel. But any deep dish rear wheel setup looks good:)

    I would pay that If I could find some... That is why I'm looking at the VN500 rims. they look similar.
    do you know where 15x10's are sold?
