So, George...Pics?
I was just wondering if you had the chance to take a few pictures yet. I'm sure you've got your hands full between work and the fun stuff.

It's time to play! Track tomorrow night and all day Saturday. Saturday there is a all Mustang show 10-4 then it's points night from 6-1

Yes the Bogarts have arrived. The Backs are mounted. The tire shop didn't have any short valve stems for the front (3/4") so I had to order them. I'm still waiting on the 3" wheel studs and the lug nuts. I hope to have them on by next wednesday.
So you're making us wait until they're mounted? J/k. I'm just getting antsy to get mine and was looking forward to seeing yours. I have the Moser axles which I ordered with the 3" studs. I still haven't gotten the lug nuts though.
George... what kind of modification does it look like you'll need to do to get the rear wheels on without interference from the calipers?
I was looking at that last night. I was just trying to figure how the swaybar would work-geometrically, with the mounts relocated upwards. That mount is at like a 45 degree angle-correct. I was trying to visualize moveing that up and the function of the swaybar remaining. On the other hand, I'm sure you've got it figured out.
That mount hangs down maybe 2"? That's the only thing, that I could see, that could interfere. The offset on the wheels will compensate for the calipers.
Don, I haven't a clue as to the specs on the wheel (I was just guessing that you were going to ask what the offset is next.
)

Ummm, OK... what's my next question Mr. Smarty Pants.

"What makes you think you know what I am going to ask?" Am I close?

These wheels are a bit of a pain in the hiney. Are you getting anxious at all George?

You guys are doing your damnedest to talk me out of these things... :bang:
na Don. It'll all come together. George will have the formula before long and it'll make it simple for those to follow. I will need to change out the front studs though and may have to do the same (drilling).
Are you changing the front studs too George? I thought it would just look right have the same studs all around. I'm sure it's better to have the race studs as well. I'm pretty sure it's a harder stud than the stock ones.? I'm really not sure if all studs are the same hardness.
