Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Cool, thanks. I had plans of just upgrading the stock stuff up front, but by the time you add up brakes/control arms/steering box/sways/etc. it gets close to the price of a bolt in setup like the no limits wide kit. I am still on the fence on what to do there.
Making quick progress, I will be on the lookout for wheel pics. |

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Got some work done before the rain hot today. I got my chassis finished welded up sanded down and painted.
![]() Saturday I cleaned up the shop a bit then started the front ridetech assembly. Wanted to hang the rotors but I needed some spindle nuts. ![]() I also made some new coil brackets . The others I made were a little to big to fit where I needed them to mount. Left side is the new one. ![]() |

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Nice build, can't wait to see what you chose for wheels. What color are you planning on going with.

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Nice! I didnt know they made those with a brushed lip. Are they 18x10 like you had mentioned earlier? I had though about getting the Eagle 227 wheel and brushing the lips myself to knock down some of the shine.

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Also, It looks like you have 6 inch springs and a block out back? Hoping I can get that low in the rear with coilovers.

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Also got my coil packs mounted. There on the cab you can see them below the steering column. The motor is also completed wired in the pictures.

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Sweet build- I'm building a 66 and using the same Ridetech setup front and rear.
How are you going to mount a stud on the throttle body to hold down the filter lid? Awesome idea I didn't want to pay MAST $400 for their setup either. Thanks

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
I love the way you mounted the throttle body, old school look with fuel injection.

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Wanted something different than just a stock plastic ls intake especially the truck ones.

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Great build!
The end goal looks awfully familiar, our paths to get there are just a little different. What do you plan for your tire size and ride height? Take care, Shane

Re: 69 pro touring/ autocross.
Thanks ! I'm not sure about tire size yet because I'm not exactly sure of ride height. I'm not one for a extremely short sidewall but I know to tall will just roll in hard turns. I'm kinda thinking 285-40-18 on the rear.
