    I went with 3.5" back spacing on the rear and it I have to reorder the rims I will go with 4.25". Thanks for letting me know that 4.75" will be close to the bump stops.

    Core Support is painted the right color as well as the hood latch/valance support. Installed the chrome hood latch and installed and adjusted all the panels. Wet sanding should start tomorrow.
