    Thought I would go out this morning and get a few new pic's of the Mav. Had put pull it in the back yard because of the sun, couldn't get a good pic. The interior is kind of dirty right now from working on the car yesterday, wish I had some "before" pictures of it. The horn button is off because I can't get the horn to work right. I need to go over the whole outside with the flat black spray paint again, but it's not the top thing on my list right now.

    Also got a pic of it with a 95' Mustang GT wheel on it. My dad is giving me a full set of them that are nearly perfect. Do you guys think it would be safe to space the wheels out about 2 inches? My dad says it will be fine, but I'm worried about the stress it would put on the lugs... His Comet had about 2 1/2 inch long lugs on the back and it held together for over 10 years with massive wheels, but I'm still worried. :huh: Don't need to loose a wheel, but I would like to make them work. Not to mention I think they look good on the car.

    My dad never had a problem...

    I'm more worried about the wheels not clearing the fender lips. Think I'm just going to find diffrent wheels.
