But they have no "patina"? I would leave the spacers out. Fastest way to tear up the bearings is to put spacers on wheels; and the wheel placement looks good where it is now. Gives it more of a street rod look with the front wheels tucked in a little. Pushing them out on the front just doesn't look right to me. But hey; its your truck so do what makes you happy. Those are bad *** wheels BTW.

Hey Area...
That sounds muy rapido! About 10 years ago, I built a Manx knock off, with fiber glass body, rag top, and a 1776 cc "Daily Driver" engine. I went with all the German parts I could find, and CB 044 heads, and blah, blah, blah good stuff for durability, and the long run. It is still running strong, no smoke, and believe it or not, no oil leaks... Yeah, I know, I keep pulling the dip stick to see if there is oil in it... I will see if I can import one of the latest photos..
I have it down in Baja, and I love it on the dirt roads... Oh, I added a bus IRS transaxle, which gives it the low ratios I needed for off road.. yeah, a lot of Baja is still off or poor dirt roads...
