So did you convert to 5x4.5" bolt pattern or is it still 5x4"?  What are you using for brakes? What about the rear end? How are you lowering it?

Those wheels will look great as long as you get the stance right.

Lowering it this season just with t bars a little and custom leaf bracket.  Next year will be a street linx rear.

You're going to like that thing with a 340 in it! I had a 67 Valiant 273 car and stuck a 68 340 in it; wow. The only thing that ever beat it was a 67 Fairlane 427 2X4 4spd and that was only by a fender. Hang on- to your licence as well!

Lets see it on the ground. If the rear is a little high, you can always add a drop block.

I will be back to the shop on saturday to finish it up.  A drop block?

[burdar]

A block between the spring and the rear end pad.  They make a lot of different thicknesses.

I really like the unique look of it.

I don't know why, but when I see a picture of it, it reminds of the Green Hornet car.

[challngd73]

It is for now. Next year I will have a different rear suspension set up to drop another inch or so, and then I will work on the front.
