    I just bought one from a Hamb member. He seems like a standup guy. I'm in the middle of arranging transport and getting the seller paid.
    As a relative newcomer to the HAMB, I have not posted much, but have gleened a lot of info.
    One thing I notice is the delight that most members take in sharing their knowledge, so here I go with some questions. Sarcasm is okay as long as it's not cruel:)
    I plan on a MII 56" front and a S-10 8.5 54.5" rear. I'm thinking about Halibrand type wheels and want to know what sizes and offsets I can use. Will 15" work with 11" disc brakes? How deep wheel can I use? Front? Rear?
    What size tires?
    I am excited about this build. I haven't finished my last build and am still waiting on the instruments, which the speedo shop has had for over 2 years! Bummer.
    Thank you very much.
