Doesn't zero offset mean the mounting flange is on center and a 5" wheel would have 2 1/2" backspacing?

Maybe he machined the hinges something I've done before or beat the sill forward?What do you mean by collapsed the hinge and how did you do it?
I place it in a big vise and reduced it closed thickness by .060". When I did the Orange car, I used a sledge hammer and a granite boulder. Much more effective, but no control of the process. Bang! its done, vs. squeezing it down in ten thou increments.What do you mean by collapsed the hinge and how did you do it?
You did and I'm sure they will do a great job. However, after seeing the shop, I think that their rebuilding of the wrecked unibody would be a bit of a stretch.One More Time R & R..... I think I may have told you about that one. I have been there a couple times at a Car Show and saw their shop with in-progress Projects..... Quality work for sure.
Yes. I did the original paint job, twice. Add to all the of the body work the needed paint booth. Installing it inside the garage and taking it down is probably a week of very strenous work for me.I know how much work goes into a good paint job (I painted my own), but wow that's a chunk of change. And people wonder why "rat rods" are so popular? $50 worth of Rustoleum spray cans and a couple of hours and you're done!
I need 15's to clear the 11.2" rotors. Additionally, their web site indicates they do not "do" four on four and quarter wheels.Also try the Silverstone II wheels.. They do 14x5.5 iirc

terrible welder and not very good with spatial problems
Huh!I too am a terrible welder.... thought that is what grinder disc was for
Here's a thought - "If you have to grind your welds in order to make them pretty, that makes you a grinder, not a welder". However for me, making them pretty is out of the question, I have to settle for "make them look presentable". So maybe I'm not even a grinder.I too am a terrible welder.... thought that is what grinder disc was for
