Hey all, Ive been working on my 66 coupe for the past 4 years, my ex-bro in law is a mechanic, a pretty good one, but not a very timely and reliable one....thats why its taken almost 4 years to swap my 200 ci for a jazzed up 302. The latest mistake by him was to have me order a new set of 5 lug wheels and tires for the car... great, so i did and they look awsome, problem is... the front end suspension from the junk care we got is well...JUNK..all but the spindels..... sure am glad he had me buy $1,000 worth of wheels I CANT USE!!! Now i know one option is to go ahead a get a front suspension rebuild kit from like Mustangs Unlimited ( $400 ) But I was wondering if anyone knew of some wheel adapters that would allow my 5 lug wheels to bolt up to my 4 lug suspension I have currently ( as a temporary fix ) And if there was, how much that would cost for the front 2 wheels ( rear end is fine and dandy ) I would greatly appreciate any help...thanks alot in advance!
