Killer build man. If you dont mind me asking, what wheels are those? I saw earlier in your build that you had purchased rotas, but it seems the plan changed. Size, offset?
thanks, they are made by Belak, 15x9 with a 5.5 or so backspace. I would have rather had them further inside the body but the 2g auto trans makes that a bit tougher if you want to have a decent turning radius with a proper width wheel for the given tire.

If I am not mistaken I believe the dry ice was used to remove the sound deadening material, so the op could weld the floor pan and not have to smell burnt adhesive or possibly so it would not catch on fire.
