Almost a shame to take such a nice car a part, but I love what you are doing! The car is going to be awesome. I would keep stockish wheels on it.

I took it apart because the frame was bad. I am going 15 inch wheels with stock buick hub caps.

Awesome build. Crazy a car with such good paint has such a rotten frame. People will be laughing at you in your ugly POS, till you blow their doors off🙂.

I a quick update. I received my 9 inch housing, axles and brakes today and picked up a used F41 suspension kit last week. Ordered new tires and the 15x8 rear steel wheels with 4 inch backspacing. Photos for them will be soon.

For sure will be following this build.

Is that a 03/04 cobra i see lol. Or Cobra wheels? Looks like 18's lol
 
Well today my brother and I reinforced the frame rails by welding in steel plates. We welded in the motor mounts, installed new 9 inch rear, new cross member, umi shock brace and new 255 60 15s on rear on 15 x 8 wheels with 4 inch back space.
