There's a big auto swap meet at trader's village on the northwest side of Houston in March next spring, maybe the local 400 owners can get together then. Lots of restaurants in the area, near 290 and 1960. I'll be there at the meet, with the Burb full of little trucks and cars....

Love your build doing a ridetech 96 right now I see you used 4.5'' backspacing on the fronts do you feel
4 3/4 or 5'' would have eliminated any rub if you have any? getting close to ordering our polished torque thursts and just curious from someone who has put some miles on the same setup I am working on

I am the worst at offset/backspacing, so take this at face value. Moving the front wheel further in (away from the fender lip) by 1/4" would be better. But, I'm not sure if that would create a problem on the inside.

I ended up going with React spindles which take the track width back to stock, or 1/4" off each side less than standard spindles that come from Ridetech.

Welcome to Houston metro area. My wife and I are moving to Friendswood at the end of this month. I hope to visit the local cruise nights once we're settled, likely January. My Dad told me they used to have a cruise night at highway 3 and fm 518.I
