Hey guys, just picked up this 88 and put some Ridler 650 wheels on it. I think it looks good. I originally tried 18x9.5 on the rear but there was just no way to get those to fit without doing some serious work on the frame. These are 18x8 and they fit very comfortably. The fronts are 17x7 and I'm wondering if I could have fit an 18x7 on the front? Either way, here she is, hopefully going to be doing a lot of work to it this summer

All stock for now, the motor is a small block 350 with quite a bit of work done. I am still learning a lot of this stuff so it should be an interesting project. I plan on doing a Ford 9" rear axle conversion in the near future, and potentially an LS swap with a 4l80 (I have the motor and transmission ready to go, just a matter of finding time).

We'll see, car runs good as is, so I will probably just enjoy it for the summer

Nothing stock about a sbc 350. Nice car.

Welcome, very nice looking car. If the current setup runs good enough I would leave it for the season, then find the time over the winter

That's the plan! I do want to upgrade the rear axle though so I can do posi burnouts :LOL:

I have an 8.5" posi 3.73:1 G-body rear ready to go if you're interested. Since I have the '70 now, I will probably never have a use for the G-bod rear. It's from an '85 442.

Where are ya located?
