Officially starting body work!!
well its what i do for a living anyway so its not a big deal for me.
i did however come into my first little problem. my boss seems to think that if we flair out the fenders before i have the stance correct its gunna be really hard in the future to find a good wheel/tire combo. i disagree w/ him on this one but its the whole hes been doing it a lot longer then i have thing...so what do you guys think? i think w/ adjustable coilovers, and some spacers ill be able to fit almost any wheel i want in there nicely.
the thing w/ the painthowever is that im using a flake that they stoped making in the 70's and theres enough to paint about 2.5 cars w/ it. obvioulsy im buying all of the flake so i can fix any future bang ups or things i wanna change, but i dont know if i should paint thecar w/ the body work done even if i dont do the flairs soon, then just repaint it when its all done, or just prime the car and leave it that way for....as long as it takes for me to save and find a set of rims(probably about a month and a half.) what do u guys think i should do?

i agree with your boss. Most people who do a widebody or flare the fenders, build it around the wheels that they plan to run.
as far as paint, i would just do it all at once, that way you dont have to go back and spot paint. it would be easier and more cost effective.
just my $.02
