I have a set of iroc wheels for it. I need confirm the offset will work with the b-body spindles. Those spindles are wider than stock and I don't want them to stick out or rub. I am still putting the interior back together, when that is squared away, I will deal with the wheels. I might stick some torque thrusts on it if I can locate some used ones. If I use the z-28 or iroc wheels, they will be blasted and painted a semi stock silver of some sort.

Speaking of Silver... I'm just imagining your car painted Silver along the bottom, with a Red Stripe separating the black from the silver like Dale Earndhardt's car. Would look pretty sweet! (Just a thought of course!)

I finally ran out of reasons to put this job off-recover headliner and clean and dye the cargo area plastic

Looks great Brian!

I wish that I had re-covered my headliner instead of dyeing it before I put it in, but I couldn't bring myself to bother since it has to come back out anyways to weld up the roof-rack holes and fix the hail damage...

Actually, it's from when the car spent it's first 25 years in Texas...
Apparently everything is bigger there... including the hail...

It has gotten snowed on a few times since it came up north though... :lol:

my uncle bought an old isuzu trooper when it was new for half price, they had to mark all of them nearly half off because of the hail damage throughout the whole dealership.
