Tried to do with out a"built beam" for now but that's not going to happen. I need to narrow one for sure. And smaller tires are a must. I'm at a finacial stand still on that.

do a 7in beam and get some 165/45/15s. you'll have to do some body modification. like with a BFH. but it will look cool as shizz!

maybe for the headlight buckets. i have a 6 in my car and mine only rub occasionally and i def dont have near the turning radius anymore. but its still smaller than most mid-sized cars out there. you'll get used to it. oh and im running 145/65/15s on the front right now.

I want to agree with you. I'm really excited to get it running been about 18 years since I had a aircooled. Maybe further down the road we can raise the tranny.
