Thanks, I got the same spindles on the bench, waiting for the Wisconsin winter to break a bit. Do you have any rubbing when you turn with the new wheels?

Yes I did.....I ended up having to do some modifications to my inner fender but I can't afford changing rims or tires and I love the look so it was worth it. I didn't have any problems at all with the rear.
 
Congrats on the car, Looks awesome. Love the wheels but I would have stuck with the stock ride height. Really like how it sits by in the picture of stock height.
 
That does look badass. When I can pick up my next gbody, I'm coming to the Chicago area first. Seems they're all over the place, down there. Haha.

I somewhat agree after doing a double take, still looks awesome:

After the 2" drop

I'm not a big fan of the woodgrain either, silver looks better as a factory option (IMO) over the burlwood??? or whatever it is called. I dig your custom black overlays...nice touch to a custom build.
 
im liking the drop.. gives it a little more of a meaner look.. gold&black is nice, louvers on the fenders dont really fit with the drop.. but all in all its tight.. more inspiration for me, goodwork
