The color is Sea Blue. It's an original color for 64.

I think I asked this in another thread you posted in, but are those AirEvo wheels?

Is it still 2" narrowed beam with dropped spindles? Did you have to run a spacer in the rear?

Yes 2" narrow up front with drop spindles. I am running spacers in the rear. I am going to swap out the rear drums this weekend with Thing drums. Uses the same axle length but the face of the drum is further out, to eliminate some of the 1 5/16 worth of spacers, that I am not very comfortable with.

Cool thanks. I ran a 1" with my old 17's. You could always run 67 axles they are wider.

Those BRM's really set it off, car looks fantastic. Great Job.

One thing I've noticed is how dirty the underside of the deck lid is. If you're showing it as much as it seems you are, take that thing off and detail it out. You'll thank yourself you did.

Love the look. I have been looking at running a 17" wheel combo when I ran across your thread. You said you had dropped spindles/disc brakes. What brand are you running? Do you have any tire rub? If so, where? I want to keep the wheels out as wide as possible. I can't go as low as yours due to the great roads where I live, but love the look you have of the wheel wells being filled up. Thanks.

Thanks Todd!! I am running a 2" narrows beam up front. I am running 2 1/2 drop spindles up front, not sure of the brand, they where on the car when I got them. I'm still running 4 wheel drum brakes on the car, all stock. As for rubbing I have a lot of spacer in the rear. I only rub out back when I have 2 people in the car and hit a big bump or take a hard turn, the top of the tire will rub on the back inner fender well because of all the camber. The front is on air ride, so I don't have any problems rubbing. What you see in the latest pictures is the car aired all the way down. I can't drive the car that way.The rear is a static drop and that's how I drive it. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks again.
