If you get wheels with a 6" b.s., you should only need a 1/2" spacer.

I was at a garage sale today that was full of car parts. My buddy bought a box full of spacers of various sizes. If you need some let me know and I'll ask if he has a 1/2" or whatever you end up needing.
I bought an Accel Super Coil for my Camaro new in the box for $10! Missed a NIB Lakewood scatter shield for $75! It was the universal GM style that fits almost every GM V8, plus had the tranny adapter plate too! Guy had tons of tires and wheels, but I didn't see any Cragar SS at all.

on the subject of tires... the centerlines on the camaro are keystones. there kinda hard to find a matching set. found craigslist add today for centerlines. so i thought for the front i could use them wouldn't look TOO off. got to the place realized they where keystone centerlines. identical size and match to my wheels on the camaro. for 40$ they where mine. rubbers cracked so ima pump them up and burn them out ina parkin lot. the skateboard was free! going in the firebird for summer. park the car in town. skate around town save a little gas.

I would have easily tossed you 150 for the scatter shield. Well Jason you now have about ten pages of posts between here and the nasty site. Come up with a plan yet?

Sounds like a plan to me. And it took a whopping couple of days to get there too!
