Sounds like a plan Martin, i'll put the ketle on )

Mal,
nothing exciting going on under the cover, just trying to contain the shot a bit. I needed to clean up some hard to reach areas before welding & shot blasting was the only way i could see to do it.

Gary,
i must be the last person on the planet who hasn't got a facebook account, i've too much going on to worry about managing an online personna, thanks for the invitation anyway.

Made a new badge holder this morning whist the rest of the house was asleep. Still took 3 hrs from cafe to primer.

Out of 6 rear lights, the ones with the best chrome had the worst light reflectors, so moved every thhing around, then treated the backs with waxoyl.

Funnily enough i can only find 2 front side lights, both of which are rather tired.

I was actually talking about painting the rocker covers black. But now you mention it.

Actually quite like the GT40 (BRM6) versions, just not sure what width to go for & which options.

These ones with the centre spinners & cap to hide the bolts

When i measure at 3" & 8.875" i end up with the length bethween the two sections at 48.5", it looks right compared to your other photos.

Hopefully that cut is in the right place.

The GT40 wheels arrived this morning, very nice.

What size did you decide on Brad ?. They are a nice wheel.

Yes. Very nice indeed.

How do you get to the wheel nuts?

Hi Brad - they are well tasty!
Spinner cover looks trick and I like the fact that you've been able to show a bit of rim depth - is it a custom offset or is it all allowing for stock hub/drum location?
What size tyre are you going to run?
Nice work on the fron valance as well and again, thanks for the images and updates.
Cheers
Tom

R15" with 6" for the fronts & 7" for the rears. They had the offsets on file so i didn't have to measure anything.

The centre caps are very trick & cover the wheel nuts, you would have to look very closely to see the wheels were not centre spinners.

I must say Image are a great company to deal with, good advice & regular updates as to where the wheels were in the manufacturing process.

Oh they are nice....
looks like you'll be able to play with backspace/offsets if you ever wanted to anyway by the looks of that rear bucket. Finish looks very good also and nice to see they've deployed a decent piece of metal for the spinner. 15's are a good fit with the options that will give you in the brakes department as well.
As an aside, I saw an image of a guys conversion to an IRS last week - and he's thinking about putting 17x9's on the rear inside a standard wheel arch - Holy Tabbouleh that's a lot of wheel...
For mine, I really like those GT40 rims.
Top Job.

Just in case you are interested, here's a couple of shots of the IRS getup.

Serious transmission crossmember there as well.

Don't give me ideas! I thought I'd nearly finished my list of mods. Makes mine look nearly standard.
