ol doc gully

^ sounds like a bargain, and exactly the options id get (though i dig the guard green, wonder if theyre gonna make a bullitt...)

i would have the most confidence in the saleen but Ford Mustang Galpin Rocket is cranking out some 725hp, and Roush stage 3 is well over 600, getting to be a (wonderfully) crowded space.... ill be interested to see how all these mustang derivatives square off against the C7s...

blacklick says no, they dont really do automotive, unfortunately I had also come across the name Bender's Race Cars & Fab but they are no longer available either i really do appreciate the input though guys, keep it coming - starting to be real glad I had found that one name, jeez...

also wheel technology phone number is no longer in service and the email address bounced back. guess they shut things down

yeah i wasnt going to even buy the wheels if that was the case, but now that ive found at least one that can be avoided

awesome, i will give them a call over lunch, thanks. im already pushing the envelope wiht how low the offset is so an adapter would definitely push it out too much aye, was harder than i expected to even find one place

I called the manufacturer to confirm that its no problem based on the wheel design, and luckily its extra easy cause theyre 4 lug being redrilled for another 4 lug pattern - but does anybody have a recommendation for a shop to do it? the only place ive found so far is Babbitt Bearing Co on Frank in south columbus, sounds like it might be pretty expensive. i thought Wheel Medic would be the place but they do not do that. cheers and thanks!

took a full day of driving around getting lost on westward country roads and took this pic - prob my favorite to date, and last of the year as shes on jackstands and under the knife for the winter swapping the engine this weekend (getting a fresh L28 with much better compression and a holley carb, all the accessories and the trans with new clutch), should be super solid for 2015. and got a slew of race car goodies to go in before spring time too, should be a good one! http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n202/misplacedape/datsun_ohcruise_edit_sm_zps8a405cf0.jpg

im with you there... i even ditched the one on my old subaru. but on that roush... i really dig it. crossing my fingers its functional. super charger heat exchanger? PLEEEAAASSEEE....

theres several more pics in the link im utterly smitten

HOLY CRAP - CANT NOT LIKE 2015 roush http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/47641/all-new-2015-roush-mustangs-introduced http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/2015-ROUSH-Mustang-4-770x513.jpg http://www.automotiveaddicts.com/47641/all-new-2015-roush-mustangs-introduced

yeah i would have been crawling around on cobblestone if it hadnt been for my buddy's help - i feel your pain haha. and im really glad you said that about the control arm bolts. i recently did that job on an old subaru and my even older datsun and was very... unpleasant. i'll have to do that along with whatever next round of service. yeah i used POR to coat my datsun suspension before reassembling, good stuff, very durable. but here i mostly wanted to do something for all the bolt heads and hardware on moving joints etc to prevent rust in all those places, as ive seen how bad it can be on a few cars ive worked on since being up here and it is just ruinous.

welp, for what its worth, after all that research fluid film definitely sounded like the way to go. i think my second choice would have been amsoil HD metal protector, sounds like it is a bit more of a permanent coating, so might be favorable if youre expecting lots physical contact. anyway, used about 2 cans on just wheel wells, then 3-4 on the rest of the underside. used an outdoor lift at my buddies work, wind was a bit fierce so got quite a bit of overspray on one side of my truck. seems like it will just wash off with soap and water though. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n202/misplacedape/PhotoGrid_1411766647444_zpsfa04b1a2.jpg

some valuable input from somebody who did a bunch of tests: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f36/clear-undercoat-1622/index26.html#post366307

thanks adam, guess i'll just have to look harder and call around. and yeah, i had a lot of garage work planned for last winter, but a big volume and only space heaters slowed progress down laughably, lesson learned haha. also, did you ever rinse mid season with the fluid film on? how much would it come off?
