I forgot the previous owner had done a little cutting along that line. My Fenders have essentially been reverse-tubbed, with inner fender metal being added to make up the gap where we pushed the fenders out...

So, I ordered the Mustang wheels on Summit today. According to them, the wheels should be in before the end of the month, but they're being shipped by the manufacturer so who knows how long that will take.

Ironically, the salesman from THMotorsports called me today to see where we were at with regards to the Enkei wheels as he felt bad he was still sitting on my money. I told him I already disputed the charge last week. He told me I didn't need to and they would have given me a refund on the spot. I told him I called and left a message 3-4 times to see if he checked the availability of the wheels and got no response. He said he was going to give me a full refund that should be in my account by tomorrow and that he was going to try to make it up to me by marking down the wheels even more. I told him I made a purchase with Summit already and if that falls through, I'd give him a call. He felt really bad but understood and told me he was going to really mark down my next purchase as he felt really bad about this miscommunication on this one.

I wouldn't know what to get. Maybe racing seats or a smaller steering wheel? The guy sounded like a nice guy through the whole process and it honestly seemed like he just got sidetracked in the Black Friday hustle.

Yeah TH Motorsports is a good online parts company for the import stuff I can't get through Summit or Jegs.
They have always been competitive prices and I have placed many orders from them

Yeah, this kind of stuff always happens to me. The new Enkei wheels I wanted (GTC01's) would have looked really good on the Dart. The wheels I ordered are pretty plain jane Torq-Thrust looking wheels, but it should work fine. I actually really like how the mock up wheel (17 x 8) with a 275/40/17 looks, but I wonder if that extra 1" in diameter and shorter sidewall will take away from the aggressiveness of the look... http://www.summitracing.com/parts/usw-251-9912

We'll see. Maybe after Christmas I'll give them a call and order the new seats and that steering wheel.

Still a worn out 273... I'm thinking of finding a replacement small block. But I've been slow on it as I've been waiting for this quarter at school to end and have been spending money on suspension, wheels, and tires.

So... I got a message from Summit on my phone. "The wheels you ordered have been discontinued. Unfortunately they don't offer a +0mm offset, but they do offer a +30mm offset which should push the wheel out about 1.1 inch."

I called them back and told them I didn't order a +0mm offset wheel. They checked my order and basically said, "Crap, we must have called the wrong person as we thought you did." Hopefully this means that the wheel is available and it should be shipped soon. I'm getting tired of every wheel I order being discontinued.

They also have their math wrong, going from 0 to +30 wouldn't move the wheel OUT.


Mopar to the bone!!!

They phrased it very weird in the message... They said something like it would be closer to the street side of the car.


I don't really have my hopes up but
