Yeah, I think I will hold off on the cutting until I get new wheels.

thanks!!
just sent you a PM.
Just a little update..
I have had a chance to drive my car a bit and am getting a better feel for it.
I still need to get an alignment but I am waiting until the suspension settle and I can re-torque everything before I take it in. The alignment actually seems good for an eyeball job and it doesn’t pull to a side but I know I have to take it in..
As I posted on another thread I really like the way my car in handling. The Maier Rear leafs do a good job of planting the rear.
The engine runs great especially for not being tuned in over 12 years!!!
I want to change the cap rotor and plugs, but it is still running great. I haven’t touched the timing, plugs or carburetor. For those of you who knock Holley’s
my 650 Double pumper idles and responds fine. New gaskets and a clean out wouldn’t hurt it but like I said I don’t want to mess with anything since it seems to be running fine..
I installed the Monte Carlo bar and it I like the fact that I can tie up some wires to it to clean up the look. The Mallory Unilite and Pro Master coil have a lot of wires that were dangling.
I am going to replace the fuel pump with a Chrome Holley one.
The motor runs cool. Just under 180 when driving and it goes up and down a bit as the thermostat opens and closes. When stopped in traffic or idling for a long time it creeps up to over 200. I have a 4-Row Rad.
I just installed a Fan Shroud and a New Flex fan. I’ll let you know what it does with the temp at idle.
I asked a question about a Harmonic Balancer.
I looked at mine and the rubber is coming apart in some places. It has seen better days.
Should I be worried?
