It will find its way on there soon enough, but not just yet. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I still have testing to do in the current configuration before I can start swapping out major components.

FINALLY!

Thanks Rusty! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]





Patiently awaiting the arrival of a new pair of Wheel Vintiques 15X8 steelies (with custom backspacing) to mount them on--the current 15X7 steelies are a skoch too narrow for my tastes to mount L60's on, and I needed a bit more backspacing anyhow to tuck the tires under the quarters a little further thanks to the extra 1/2&quot; width (on each side) of that `68 12 bolt rear.

Updated pics to come as soon as the new shoes are on and the front spring swap and final alignment are wrapped up. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

<span style="font-weight: bold">FINALLY</span> got the painted wheels back from Bodyguy today.

Wheels &amp; tires *should be* mated tomorrow, then I'll schedule a trip to the alignment shop.

More soon...I hope.

Yeah, baby!

FINALLY back with an update! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I took advantage of this unseasonably warm, sunny day today and got the ol' girl out to a local park for a few quick pics.

Got the Goodyear Polyglas L60's on the new 15X8 Wheel Vintiques steelies, and the fit is absolutely dead-nuts on! It's a pretty tight squeeze thanks to the new lower ride height in the back.

Next on the &quot;to do&quot; list is to fix the grill paint and get the grill SS emblem installed, get my new courtesy light kit installed, replace the door weatherstrips with new ones that will *hopefully* fit, and get an appointment scheduled a.s.a.p. with the alignment shop for the front coil spring swap and final alignment. Once that's done the engine will come back out for a serious underhood cleaning and re-detailing and the headers will be ceramic coated.

Oh yeah...it may wind up back on the dyno again for a few more tweaks. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

So without further ado, I humbly submit the following for your perusal...









Oh yeah...the new lower stance and fresh tires on the back made a <span style="font-weight: bold">major</span> difference in traction. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

More soon, stay tuned!

Eric - I can sum this up with a little help from my lil' friends....
