If you come down this way anytime soon you can have both. Not looking for any money for them. Just let me know the next time you are in the Marietta/Kennesaw/Dallas area and I'll try to meet you.

I am not 100% sure I'll have time to take them off tomorrow but I'll see what I can do. I placed my order at Summit this evening at around 6:30 and I already have a tracking number for most of the parts (best part about ordering from Summit, they are fast), except the new calipers of course. I think the calipers might be drop shipped unfortunately so they might not show up tomorrow like I had hoped. Anyway, give me a call (PM me if you need my number) and I'll try to meet you out there. Actually just remembered, Lindsay and I are meeting family to eat at Carrabba's on Barrett around 6:30 so I'll have to work around that too but will be just down the road. Heck, I can always sit them behind our car while we are eating and you could just swing by and pick them up.

Was able to get the rear tires mounted and put on the car tonight. Man, these things are beastly compared to the stock 225/70-14! Didn't lower the car on the ground yet but it appears the 295s should clear my wheel well lip. It'll definitely be snug though!

Only photo of them right now. Rear wheel after getting the tire mounted. I debated putting trim rings on as I kind of liked the bare look but in the ended decided to go with trim rings

Put all the wheels on today along with the new UMI rear control arm reinforcements.

Ready to tote this thing back to the shop for a motor now!

Gas tank dropped & trunk pan cleaned up. Brand new tank is now in its place

Eric, went back and reviewed everything you have been doing and looked at your photo bucket pictures. Very impressive. Like the look of the wide tires in the back on the stock looking rims. Also very nice looking car. Always like the Forest green on the Chevelles. Keep the pictures coming.

Thanks! I really liked the factory SS 14" wheel and would have loved to keep them on the car but with the new motor there was no way I would ever even dream of getting traction. The 15x10 isn't too bad. I think it will grow on me once I get the car back on the ground and start driving it again.

It has definitely been quite a project!

Thanks guys! I have loved the Chevelle since I was a kid and get excited every time I see mine! I guess the day that feeling wears off will be the day I stop pouring time and money into it (so hopefully never?)
