    Crager SS Wheels Cleanup

    if you use steel whool and brake cleaner/degreaser they should come out nice. make sure you coat them after their clean so the rust doesn't come back. i prefer to use a wax but some use clearcoat in can.

    no you dont have to modify the seat the notch or bridge goes in the raised area behind the trunk.you haev to sheetmetal it back in but unless you open the trunk no one can tell its there.

    Bagged

    those cars are very nice but they dont lay frame. neither of them are notched. i like the bergundy ones paint. wonder how much those door conversions cost? i guess ill just stick to my project at hand and maybe make it pretty later. i am trying to get pics going but i am not so good with a computer.

    Bagged

    also there is a full tubular setup for an s10 that i think fits g-bodies it says it lays frame on 22"s in the front and costs a $1000 dollars for a pair. i dont know if it will fit under the hood or heater box. and you have to buy the bags seperate.

    Bagged

    I am right in the middle of bagging my monte. i am trying to tuck 20"s. you need a drop spindle in the front and trim the spring cup and inner fender. the rear you need to notch the rear frame or run a bridge. the bag setup is pretty straight forward with s10 cups all the way around

    Speakers?

    what is in the way on the front speakers? I have orion 3" 2-ways but they have a huge magnet so I am worried about the hole not being deep enough. I really want to use them and will modify the dash if I have to, to make them work.

    transmission swap

    alright after the explosive death of my recent 200r4 the choices in my possesion are a T350,T400, or a 700r4 with a steel gear kit. i am getting very tired of swapping trannies. I just need one that can take daily beating of around 300hp and 75shot without blowing internals. I am to the point...

    head question

    thanks a bunch. I would thinka camaro head would flow much better than an old pickup. but thats why i asked. I also thought most pre 85 heads would fit any block as long as they were sbc. didn't know how many cubes mattered.

    head question

    I got a weird question. if i put 305 camaro heads on a 350 truck motor will it raise my compression ratio? block is 75 truck, heads are 89 camaro. the motor with a 700r4 from said camaro is going in an 86 toyota pickup. gotta love the projects :D

    how to get really low

    i have noticed that you can lay frame on 13" wires. how hard would it be to do the same on 20"s. i more wonder about the front cause a bridge and a notch in the rear would work. S10's do it all day long and the monte has similar front suspension. I wonder if the fenders are big enough. I only...
