Nah, you just need to do a little grinding and/or run a small spacer to put 13x7's on a caddy, that's what I was running. If you're running ****** China wheels, then you might run into clearance issues in the rear, but that's more of a big body caddy issue. My buddies blue Fleetwood in that pic is running cheap 13x7 china's, no problems, just had to do some grinding to get em on.if i get the low low id want a g body honestly....im willing to take a more beat up g body or a clean one with 13x7's alrdy and just juice it later over a caddy....ill take a cadillac coupe with juice for the right price though ....the cadillac coupes are usually better to go 14x6 ( if you can find them) too. and i like the 13x7 look more
Awwwwwwww
I'm guilty of that but damn what happened?
That being said the new ss is a god car and embarrassed the m4 on the track price to performance
if anything it's a tight squeeze but changing spark plugs is very easyPretty soon I'll have new wheels on the stang went with the split 5 spoke gt500 wheel 19x8.5/10
Oh yeah was gonna ask does anyone have experience changing ford spark plugs? I've read nothing but bad experiences changing them on my 4.6
If its the ones I'm thinking about I've heard they can be a huge pain in the *** because of the way the spark plug was designed part of it gets stuck in the heads. You're better off taking it to something that has experience with them.Pretty soon I'll have new wheels on the stangwent with the split 5 spoke gt500 wheel 19x8.5/10

Back when I had my old caddy, I decided to charge the batteries once when I was high as a kite. In order to charge them, you gotta undo a couple connections, and hook up the battery charger. Pretty straight forward. Except when you're high. I wasn't paying attention, and as I was undoing one of the battery wires with a wrench, I touched the END of the wrench onto another battery terminal, causing the wrench to arc out. Here's a picture of the trunk so you can see what I mean, at the top left the battery terminals are VERY close together.
Anyways, when I did that, I got a HUGE shock to my hand (I had 6 batteries running in series for 72 volts to the nose for hopping) causing me to let go of it, sparks flew, and the end of the damn wrench welded itself to the terminal . Thankfully when I let go of the wrench only the welded end was still touching a terminal, so the sparks and everything stopped almost instantaneously. That scared the **** outta me though, almost had a heart attack
You do have to cut into the chassis to make room for the cylinders, but most full frame lowriders like g-body's, caddy's, and impala's already have the frame archs in the rear that curve over the rear end. If you're running 13x7" wire wheels, you'll be able to lay frame, or close to it, without having to modify the frame archs just because those wheels are so small that the axle won't hit the frame. If you were running big wheels and wanted to lay out though, then yea you might have to install a C-notch. My air-bagged red Sierra that got written off had a C-notch in order to be able to lay out on the 22's.Sheesh
In order for it to be a low low you have to cut into the chassis and make that arch into the rear right?
Have you done this yourself ?
Or maybe you aren't smoking enough . I'm up in B.C., Canada, there's a reason people know BC budY'all's tolerance levels are way too low ...

. That was just me being careless, but it definitely illustrated why buying those wrenches with the rubberized coating on the ends are a good idea!I entirely too much ... I wish I was able to get stupid enough to weld a wrench to a battery ...

not at allbtw the front visibility on the SS is really poor, not sure if that's the same with the M, maybe some M owners want to chime in...

Yup we get a lot of high dollar cars from Canada. The GT3 we have now we bought from Canada, and the GT3 we had a few months ago as well. Almost bought a Ford GT from Canada last month but it turned out it had paint work on the passenger side. We're looking into buying a Ferrari 599 and a 458 italia right now as a package deal from the same dealer we bought the GT3 from, and they also have a 991 GT3 we might try to get.Hey @Nelson999, have y'all ever considered buying rides from Canada now? With the state our dollar is currently in, I'd assume there could be a good bit of money to be made on cars that are well priced up here, even after you paid for transportation and taxes and ****.
Nothing really noteworthy or worth posting pictures of. A couple of old BMW bikes, 2014 Corvette with 2k miles, 57 Chevy.anyrhing new at the shop?
Gotcha. I figured you guys were probably on top of that . I'd assume you guys can do pretty good on the high dollar rides since 1 of our dollars is only worth like 75 cents USYup we get a lot of high dollar cars from Canada.

So yea, you're correct, because of the exchange rate we're able to get some really good deals even with transport factored in. And you don't have to pay taxes when you buy a car as a dealer
panteras? Dream car right thereanyrhing new at the shop?

Have a really nice show quality 56 Ford F100 coming in next week, and a guy came by today wanting to consign 2 Panteras that he's had for 30 years.
