Glad to help. You planning on doing some narrow wheels? He also widens them. Incredible talent he has.

What I'm planning on doing is narrowing my front set, I'm running a full set of late 6x15 Alloys, want to do what you did, narrow the fronts to 4 1/2". If I run an early set of 4 1/2", running a 2" narrow beam with those will bring in the wheels alot, thats NOT the look I'm looking for, unless I run a stock width beam.

Ive owned several sets of the early 4.5s and I just did not like the look of the spokes sticking out past the wheel rim. Just did not seem to match the look I was going for. I first saw Mike Lawless's ghia with narrowed alloys and he turned me on to Eric Vaughn. It was well worth it.

Rick,
Becoming a bit repetitive, but those 7's look awsome on the back of that car. The 7's seem to be a cool forgotten touch from the late 70's /early 80's Cal-Look.
make sure to give me a ring if you come to Ohio this winter.

Hey Cornpanzer! I am visiting OHIO soon. My son is attending OHIO STATE and my daughter Shanna is at PURDUE. Would love to hook up with you on one of my visits. Email me with your contact information, phone, etc., and I will call to let you know the next time I am in town. Both will be in school back there for the next 4 years doing their graduate studies so I will have lots of chances to meet up with you. Rick M rick@teammpi.com |

Bill,
Yeah....moving is a drag but then again my hobby was being hampered by the HOME OWNERS NAZI'S. So, we got a 1.25 acre plot and house to support my VW madness and fabricating efforts. I will have the chop done in about 4-6 weeks and start attending the SAFEWAY cruise nights again. Would love to hook up with you.

Zak,
One of these days I will hook up with you in Chris. When I get the motor back in the chop I will be making a few weekend road trips with my wife to Prescott and other areas. I will keep in touch.
