My plans are to restore back to the stk look.I just bought the complete int,door panels,seat covers,etc.I have 2 brand new fenders going on and am ordering new front and rear bumpers.Does anyone know where i could get some 4 lug to 5 lug adapters to i can go with 5 lug wheels?I dont really want to mess with the 5 lug conversion at this time.
