I'm (finally!) done with paint, so here are some finished pictures. I ended up reshaping the right front to be more muscular, I wasn't happy with how it blended into the fender in the earlier pictures.

No side mirrors or trim, but the flares look pretty good. The stance of the car isn't quite right, I need to lift the front slightly and it really needs a slightly taller wheel/tire combination. But I'm pretty jazzed about it, I've been working on the paint job for months.








And my new desktop wallpaper.

Looks good Keith. For lifting the front you might consider the air bag upgrade.

Right now, it's running 8" springs in the front and I'm out of adjustment range. I might still change the rates and I have a good collection of 8" springs to play with. Once I've got that nailed down, I'll order longer springs in my desired rate to give myself a bit more room to adjust. Early days yet, sorting out the handling is particularly fun for me.

what size rims can i use with stock motor  to achive this look

That car is sitting on 14" wheels with 195/60-14 tires in the pictures. They stick out about 2" more than stock. I have an adjustable height suspension as well so I can control the ride height.
