That is a nasty ride there Indigo. The work your doing on it is nice and like no other one In have ever seen and that is what makes it so F%$#ing cool who the hell wants something other people have . I love the black and on the ground Twisted Evil

That is a true nasty Cad !!

95 SS Impala
71 Cuda

Thanks bro, I got 20" wires coming at the end of the week for her. Thinking about doing the spokes black with a chrome lip. Iim still waiting to do a little trimming to get it lower also, Twisted Evil

DUDE! Save your money, keep the moons and whites! You'll save yourself many bent wheel headaches in the future. Plus, they look WAY cooler. Wink

I'm actually probably gonna run them on the c10 once I get started on Z'ing the frame. I just figured I'd change it up for a little. I know exactly what I'd LIKE to run for wheels BUT I dont wanna step on other members toes…………Yet

You can't do white 15x8's. I already did Wink

NOT YOU!!!

Oh and I found out today STS wheel does not fit spline too small
Anyone know how to knock the spline out of a steering wheel? Other wise it's gonna get a cut and paste.

That bump stop is the pinion snubber. I dont think its a good idea to remove it. Most guys that go real low buy an offset snubber.

I think the offset snubber is for when you push the rearend BACK
So it hits ion a spot that isnt rotating.
You dont get as much motion out of the pinion if the control arms have poly instead of worn out rubber.
If the rear is positioned such that the pinion flange isnt in harms way with the crossmember, you'll just get a thunk when you hit...no chewing spinning nasty damage.

I thought Snubber was when you launch hard it stops the rearend from hitting? Doesn't matter I gotta notch out that x-member anyway to provide more room for the rear end to swing up, I don't want to so so extreme that I end up having to modify the tunnel and behind the Rear seats. I'll live with 1/2" if I must.

Well now. That pretty much sticks it to the rest of the caddies running stockers on up to ss rims. Probably the sickest idea/mod yet!

I'd scrap the idea of whites tho. It looks too good all black. It's sinister Twisted Evil

Besides. White walls are the new black wall. Yuuuuck.

I'll do some web trolling for bullet centers for 5x5.5

It looks awesome in person!!!
Tires need a good clean and shine....

I think when the cars paint "dulls up" they will really pop. The multi color paint is starting to irritate me. Lol

What!? You can't PAY for quality color schemes like that! You have to earn it through replaced body panels! Laughing

Looks good! Cool

I have to say that thing was a lot of fun the one time I rode in it, and when you told me the story of riding up behind people and just dropping the car out of nowhere to freak them out was hilarious...based on that alone I would keep that car on the side and have fun with it, lol. Quick satin black paint job and enjoy... Cool
