    I think I'm going to have to wait till the body is back on and I can see how much wheel I need or if I can fit what I have without them.

    Some more was finished so here's a few more picture updates! Trans mount was almost done, getting started on engine mounts, then front suspension!

    Looks good. What components are you going to be using up front?

    Is going to be using S13 stuff, so it will have strut towers built to run camber plates, coil overs, S chassis breaks, and whatnot

    Been working on the wheels lately, trying to make them look nice. They were all pretty crusty when I got them.

    Loving the Idiocracy on the TV! Also the wheels are coming out awesome! The time you're putting in seems worth it to me!

    Rims looking good.

    Question, how are you doing the old Toyota symbol center cap? If I go with starions, I would like to do the same thing.

    They are old Toyota pickup center caps, they just happen to fit really well.

    No problem. They were a pain in the ass to track down, especially nice ones.

    I've got the center caps on my truck right now, and I think the spare set of wheels in my bed has a full set of the hubcaps. Didn't think they were that rare

    Maybe not rare, but hard to find a set someone has for sale.

    You have a set of ones like these?

    Yeah they're the ones on my truck! I'll see if I can dig up a picture.

    Don't have any pictures of the spares but they are the hubcaps that someone else had posted.
