Thanks guys/gals!  ;D Yip, I sold the black Falcon.....got good money for that.
I kept what I needed for me $10,000 and gave just over 3 times that to Mum.

Now, aren't I a nice boy!!  :grinyes: Only cost me $7,000, black too which is hard to get.
Even in the states these cars are about $3-9K that I have seen so I think I done good.

It's not completely done yet, little things like tints etc. Perfect daily driver and finally - MOPAR!!

Cheers,
Kiwi Kid  :biggrin:

Thanks lads!!  :bananasmi


Nope, that's the stance we gave her (no added minerals)  :lol2: 275's on the rear 245's up front.  :ylsuper:
Thanks everyone....I'm happy as a pig in shlt that I get to finally enjoy her!!

 :woo:

Just to add my comments.  That car looks great.  You did a great job on the pictures (you might push the seatbelt out of the way on the rear interior shot though).  The stance is perfect on the car.

Are the tires 60 series?  Are the wheels stock 15x7 dimensions? Also when you say "the stance we gave her", I expect that it was just the front adjustments.  The rear is just stock?  Are the leafs new/resprung?

Getting ideas for mine in the future.

Thanks mate very kind. The seat belt is fixed, not original, it is a New Zealand standard seat belt.
So, I would move it, but you can't. I don't like the originals because they aren't safe and they are very restiricting.
You can hardly touch the stereo and the glove box is out of the question.
(I've attached a photo of the seat belt set up so you can see) Trust me, I would have hung them up.  :smokin:


As for your tech questions:

 - Tyres are 60 series
 - The wheels are 15x7" front and 15x8" rear (4-1/2" backspacing)
 - Shocks are IAS Edelbrock performers and the leaf springs were restored and checked (re-sprung).


Thanks mate, Hope that helped you a little.  :cheers:

Cheers,
Carl

PS: You can just see the seat belt here. Aligned with the seats angle.  :thumbsup:

Yip, plenty mate.  :bananasmi
I took her on a 2,000km road trip over Christmas, that was only half way up the country.  :bigshades:


Down the South Island it's just highway, no smal streets....long roads for sure.
Around 20 hours to get to the bottom I think.
