Looks great!

Any rear suspension mods? Stock height?

Damn is it ever!

So what did you do to lower it then? There's definately either traction bars or a modified leaf mount under there.

And how's the ride?

I'm glad to see someone who leaves the original looks of the cars alone, nothing beats the original sheetmetal look of those two cars. Nice classic looks with modern everything else. Great work on both. And an excellent choice of color ;) BTW.

The rear leafs were de-arched 3" with a 1" lowering block. It has Caltrac traction bars also. It rides great, stiffer than stock, but nice.

thanks for the comments,

I couldn't agree more. He's done basically what I have in plan for mine, except mine is the convertible version. The wheel sizes of his are practically identical to mine...just slightly different style. I'm pumped.

As I've said before, sweet car!

That is one baaaaaad car! You really nailed the stance. What's the tire width up front ?

Edit: Nevermind, I found the answer on another tread. (245/40-18)
Dammit, I so regret getting 17" wheels. After seeing this, I GOTTA go for 18"s!

Inspiring to say the least (reaching for credit card...)!
Did you cut, roll, bend anything to clearance those? Any rubbing at all?
What size front tires?
I have sold my existing 17" set on the 69 Coupe and was looking for another 17" set, but this definitely has me looking at 18".
What size front brakes are those? Looks bigger than 13" or...?
