A few others observations, I am not saying that my wife and daughter stereotype their Italian heritage, but note on most nights, and in one of these photos, I am the only one in the house after 9pm not wearing a wifebeater T-shirt. Second, note the small Maltese on the doorway, Dominic...this is the dog I want the hit put on...I know of your work:-({|=

:jawdrop: Please contact me (CT Machining) next time you need machined items like that. I would have done it for $100 or so shipped. Not dogging you but giving you and others an option. Just ask Dwight, Jeffvette, Golden Cylon or others and they can vouche for my quality. Bye the way
nice Z. Sorry about the exhaust issue:(
Take care :handshak:

This puts the projects to a halt for awhile, looks like Goldcylon will be over in a few weeks to start the garage makeover as promised.

Hey Carter,
Everyone that has interest in any sort of an aftermarket wheel that is only done in an 11" 50mm offset can use these.
I had Fred do my spacers also to "my" specifications, the backside "counter-bore" is to my specification and the wheel side "hub flange" is also done to the specification I wanted for my "particular" wheel bore. There's nothing really generic about Lee's or mine. My spacer fit to the hub is "snug" much better than the factory wheel fit and the fit of the spacer to my wheel is "substantially" better than the fit of the wheel to the factory hub flange. The positive to the deal was: I emailed my specs afternoon on day 1, he called to confirm two dimensions the next day and the 5th day I had them i my hands, "left coast to east coast" with no "fancy" shipping! The product is first class and service AAA+.
I think Lee will agree! A conversation with Fred is "Priceless"!!
My spacers in '04 were a little less but not much. The $100 price point is sure interesting. I dropped plumb-bob at both quarters to confirm the rear was "square" in the chassis and had mine done in 16mm so I could drop the body substantially more and mentioned to Lee he might want to try maybe 18mm depending on the measurements he found. 14mm of course will duplicate ZR-1 (36mm) to GS (50mm) fitments.

Are they tack welded at the back? if not I can probably give it a go to get them better..
Mine are not as bad, but I need to cut the tack welds to fix them

No they are not tacked, trying to line these up is near impossible, however it seems some bending is in order, they have been off since I bought the car. Maybe replacing the exhaust clamps would also help, they were reused when the X-Pipe was put in.

Custom is the only way to go and people like me have a way better quality control then the big shops. Take care, Carter :hello:
