Hey Glenn630,
How many notches did you go in the back and how is your front beam set up? Also what size tires did you go with? Really nice ride. |

Cheers For Comments! ,
64shawn - The backs lowered 1 outer spline , but fitted with adjustable spring plates so I can adjust it where i want it.
Front Beams been narrowed 2.5" and fitted with sway aways... its probably down about 6 - 7 inches, and the backs down about 4 inches!
I dont know if you have them in the states?... but the front tyres are off a "smart car", there a really skinny low profile 145 / 15 inch continental
and work really well on slammed bugs!!
Backs are just normal 185 / 70 / 15's.
Cheers, Glenn |

Glenn, that looks great. The oval I am doing now is an original black car, and had almost decided not to paint it black again, since black cars are such a chore to keep clean. I almost wish I hadn't seen your pictures because that looks so good and now I think I'll just do black after all. Darn you!!

as far as the car in my avatar it's a 66 as well and here is some pics
here you go
This '66 features a KCW 5 Inch Beam, stock wheels with white walls, and a 135/145 series tire combination. The car scoots around on the stock 1300cc motor with a tucked bus header with hide out muffler. This ride used to drag muffler quite frequently... |
