Thanks, here is the thread on how I picked my rims and tires https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...ARS#Post478729,

I have the same shifter boot as you and I cleaned it with some simple green, I also have the same tear in mine if you figure out a way to fix it let me know, until then I made mine a single shifter boot, can you figure out how I did it?

Aha, 670-15 Firestones. They look really good on your car, but I think I'd probably be better off with the shorter 640-15s on my Nova.
Does your Chevelle stop as well as it did before you went to the skinnies?

no problems stopping, the only thing I have noticed is not having a radial tire on the rear, the MT are harsh driving

Hello all, My first post here although I have been checking out the rides posted. I lived the Day2 era cruising hempstead tpke, Burger King in Bethpage L.I., NY National Speedway, Westhampton Raceway and apparently I'm reliving it again with my 70 chevelle! I really like the look of your 69 chevelle day2killa with the cragars, tow tabs etc. I knew a guy from East Meadow back in the late 70's that had the same car, white , black vinyl top, small block with a 4 spd. His name was Gary, had a gas station I think off Newbridge Road? North of Hempstead tpke. The green 70 malibu in other posts is sweet too! I thought I was the only one that dug this stuff, lol. Anyway, I'll try and post some pictures for your reviews in the next day or so.
Glenn

Thanks guys for the welcome. day2killa, wish I could make that show but I would have to trailer the car from Florida to attend, lol. Route 109, you mean the &quot;other drag strip&quot; we used to race on back in the day, haha.
Anyhow I have a few pictures to post, it is a car in progress but let me know what you guys think of my old school ride.
