Re: 68 project
Sorry about that Larry. Looks great though. I'm assuming you needed the wheel spacers for the front?

Re: 68 project
Not a problem ... yes, drop spindles do not work well with 15 inch wheels

Re: 68 project
nope. Forgot about the 15s. I do love those wheels. I'm trying to find an old photo of a 72 that had the same wheels

Re: 68 project
They are one of my favorite old school wheels, I bought them here on the board for a heck of a deal

Re: 68 project
Love the steady flow of updates. I agree, it could lose another inch or two in the rear. I'm just picturing it tucking those tires and it would look rad!

Re: 68 project
Got the hood stripped and skimming with bondo. Hood is one of the worst panels to get straight.
