Getting the Barracuda back on the road

It's been a while since I have updated this. Funny how wrecking your motorcycle will slow you down.

Well I picked up some cheap 17" x 7.5" Enkei wheels for dirt cheap just for mock up and to get started on my pro touring theme. I may decide to keep them and have them powdercoated black later. The tires that I am using hold air and are a good width at 225/55/17 and will give me an idea of what I have to work with during mock up.

These wheel have almost 6" of back space. This will give me the ability to add billet adapters/spacers to get the clearance that I need. It looks like the front will need 1.25" spacers to clear the coilover hoops and roll bar and the back will need 1.5" to clear the leaf springs and tuck in the wheel well very tight (I might need to do some massaging of the tub) while I do rust repair in the rear quarters over the winter.
