Hey Rob... 'splain "Moderate Work" wouldja ???


Looks Great !!!!! :D :D :D

looks good

Moderate work meaning after the shortend rear and minitub all I had to do was clearance the front of the wheel opening.

Thats pretty moderate considering all you have done to the flyer.:)

HA !!! i've done nothing... i'd LIKE to though ;)

i was kinda hoping you just rolled the lip or something. i'd like ta have some meats like that too... not gonna happen i guess :(


how's 'bout a shot from the back ???

All I can say is"SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!:D

The FULL wheel well looks GREAT!!!
What are the dimensions on the wheels and tires ie. height,tread width, section?
Wheel size and backspace?
Brandon

That looks great! Later.

Mark!

The wheels are L60's witch is the same as a 275/60/15...28 inches tall ..The wheels are 8 inch welds with 4 1/2 back spacing.
I had 295/50 on there before but with a 3.90 gear wanted something a little taller cause I drive this car everyday.

I would drop the front some.

May need to lower the rear a tad.Don't want the stinkbug stance.

Later, Rob

I'm glad that the rear shot was of his car! I was worried that it was going to be a rear shot of Vonswanko!-whew!
In all seriously-might need to lowered just a little otherwise it looks great.
Mike

Oh and thanks for the compliment.

Those babies really fill the hole up!
I like it!!!

Looks good! How much did you shorten the rear end from stock? Did you move the springs inboard? I want to squeeze 275/60/15 Mickey Thompson drag radials under my 67, or possibly the 50 series if it doesnt have the stance I want. Did you modify the wheel opening lip? I would sure like to see more pics!!

Thanks:)

The springs have been moved in with the Comp. Engineering leafspring offset hangers and weld-in sub frame connectors.Not sure how much from stock the rear was cut.I can messure from backing plate to backing plate for you.The lip was only rolled in the front not on the sides.I have more room side to side for more tire with different wheels, but it definately not any taller.

Let me know what detailed pics you need.

Rob

Please send the measurements and hanger numbers.

Rob, looks great! What brand tires are you running out back? And where did you get them?

The tires are laramie's...I got them off of a set of steel truck rims I had laying around.Just using them for the inital set-up and what not.Will get a set of M/T sportsmans or something else later.

The offset sping hanger part number is C2032 from C/E
