    @cactus1 we are nosing around for a set of 16” 40 ford style wheels for this if you know of any. Just been putting feelers out.

    Also he’s selling the back fenders off this if you know anybody looking for some sedan fenders

    Played around with the A steering column today after work and the old thing still works! Might build a bracket for it and mount it on top of the frame.(straightens up the column and gives me header room) [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

  20. Yep, I have dream stuff but dream stuff always get in the way if you let 'em.

    My old grandad said once that to reach the end of anything you just have to keep plodding on like an old mule. Slow and steady. I may add given the state of my own mind that you have to keep your blinders on, there are way too many sparkly things out there. :)

    Yeah ideally 4. The ones Beaner have are wider and reversed so there’s a chance they are the wrong offset to clear everything. Or wider than the rubber he wants to run.

    Though even if they fit I call dibs on doing a burn out on them before he bolts them on gotta impress his neighbors lol
