It strikes me that most of the views against reshelling is down to the fact that you are using a part that has its own identity as another vehicle?

Many people use less offset for the rears to bring the wheels out to compensate so they are more in line with the fronts. I have used a 7" rear with 0 offset before with no problems. Some use all th...

If you struggle try classiccarpaints.com or vintagepaint.com who both supply celly and will match to samples. Painting celly is so easy but solvent based 2k will last longer. You may die applying it but it will look great! :P You will need a dust-free environment as 2k is not touch dry for at least ...

I am currently welding in new transmission tunnel edges where they attach to the floors as the metal is very thin in places.
