I finally finished my 5 lug conversion

Did the rear tonight, much easier than doing the front. Took me about 3 hours total, but I also did rear brake shoes as well. Still need to work all the rust of the drums and readjust the shoes up, braking really sucks right now.

I still dont have a matched set of rims on there now. When I pulled the front rims off, a belt on one of the tires had seperated and it littler had a 1" bulge for 1/8 of the tire so luckily I had still had my waffle ponies with bald tires on them, so I stuck one of those on for now.

And I cant even stick center caps on in the rear due to these axles having 3" Mildon racing studs installed.

Up next, larger master cylinder, cobra brakes up front and 17" rims

Neither can I, or at least the complete set. debating on getting 2 more used ones or just ordering some new ones. Car handles so much better again over those damn v6 wheels
