Gonna go TREMEC 5 or 6 speed… anyone got a non auto column?

Funny thing…. Cracked a flexplate or bearing in trans just driving to go get a shipping quote for the alternator I’m selling. So really…. You never know what’s gonna happen. No matter how you drives. This was a full sfi b&m plate too. Pretty sure it cracked at or let loose a crank side...

Thanks. :)

Oh yeah.. def got lucky.

Oh it did…. A chunk went flying inside the trunk and made a reverse ding in the side rear upper quarter.. which spider cracked the paint like a bb size. The paint is over 30 years old and is driver quality…so I wasn’t too upset.

So this is what happens when you’re rolling on 23 year old tires that are mostly for rollers while you wait for your custom 10” wide rims to be done. Infront of the house, line lock…. BAM!!! Hella force to do that. But I fixed it best I could. So… PSA… check how old your tires are and...

Heard they have to be custom made now.

Post 2020 that’s how

no secret…rimspec in Grand Prairie Texas.

Yeah this guy I got probably isn’t your guy…….

Or maybe I’ll just keep these other ones for some slicks or something….don’t need them to be perfect to go 1/4 mile. Hmmmmmmmm

Wont get them rims back till the end of the month. So maybe I should wait to sell these other ones lol. I’ll let you know how this guy turns out. Might be a good resource for the group. He ain’t cheap so he better do a damn good job. It’s the same guy as a few posts back that was hesitant…...

Okay guys/gals. Art is just going to refund me and I got a new guy locally making me some from scratch using my current 15x7 rear rims. These are now for sale… 15x10 with 7-1/4 backspacing. 7-5/8 total to outside lip. $125 each plus shipping. Making then from scratch just cost me 450 a rim so...

Both rims are 85 thousandths out. Has to be his jig was off. No way UPS got it that precise on both rims at the same time

update: he has agreed to pay for the repair, if I can find a place willing and if they can be. if they cannot be repair...he will refund my full price. i don't believe he sent me a bad product on purpose....my only beef was him not wanting to own up to it and blaming everything else, but he...

that's the thing...he says he put tires on them and balanced them and ran them out. well idk how he could miss this.

paid by check and i'm pretty sure he cashed it already. and wouldn't the shipper want the rims in exchange for the claim? yeah....they aren't getting them cause i still could use the centers or they might beable to straighten them. he also lives several states away from me and wouldn't offer...

he gave me every excuse in the book....form I ran them out and they were .025 or .25 i can't remember what he said...to he has 8 hours of work in them and he got 150 in insurance for each....blah blah blah. He said they were perfect when they left....they had to be bent by UPS. The boxes they...

both rims are this way.

Well, i was excited about my new rims from Art Bair Wheel until I went to get them mounted and balanced today and they are warped all to heck. not usable at all. I messaged Art and sent him videos of it wobbling on the balance machine and he made every excuse in the book to not own up to it...

looked like a house with a shop out in the country to me....but there was no street view. but i can see what you mean via the satellite view. i have the original 14' rallys from the dart....but i hosed the centers by tightening the lug nuts down too tight once. hosed the beveled part. but i...

Art Bair is great! we have been texting and talking the last couple of days. He got the centers on Saturday and was already sending me pics and talking to me about the game plan. talked to him again today just to confirm all the front and backspace settings and make sure we were on the same...

his lack of confidence also did that.

i had zero problems getting the centers out. a 4.5' grinder to take off the welds and then a 12 ton press centered in the middle with a wood block pushed them out like butter. no...i did not bend them.

you sir....get a gold star! :)

Art Bair is gonna hook me up. really really nice guy and pretty much only does steel material. i'm gonna try to remove the centers from my spare rims to save on shipping and he has a donor ring for me already. SUUWEEETT!!

called weld wheels today.....they have a work stoppage at the moment so he isn't accepting anything new at this time...but he can and will do it....said to call back in a bout a month. he was very helpful in trying to find someone else to help me. He confirmed Stockton is out of business and...

no that doesn't help lol, but thanks for posting i guess :)

well....rimspec says he don't like doing steel, but he will do it....didn't sound super confident....sounds like he wants aluminum.....and then he quoted me 450 a rim. i said ....no. not sure why i would pay 450 a rim when you are hesitant to take the work. and he was worried i would be drag...
