What rims are people using that will bolt on the the 5 x 5 1/2. I mounted up Ford wheels then found out the center hole was to small.
I have a set of chrome spokers, but I am not sure if they hold up well, never used them.

I'm planning on going and getting it in a couple weeks so ill take a look then i welded my trunk lid shut on my 58 imp. used 3" diamond plate strapping. after its first run a week ago the rear bumper/frame is just starting to go up. i am going to take a bobcat and push the trunk lid/package tray down against the floor, but leave the quarters upright. why are you worried about the rear end anyways? drive forward ;D

Is this the right location to discuss a 58 NYer? And a 55 Dodge Royale? Are these any good or would I be wasting my time building them? Thanks

And what are some basics for building these? Limited weld. Doors completely shut, skip weld 3 on 3 off or up 5 on 5 off on trunk. By basics I mean, is there anything major that need to be assessed? Steering?

I can't tell you much because I don't have much experience with these, but I would say some major themes are the front bumper and keeping the sheet metal attached to the frame, especially the front clip
