----Big thumbs up for the TT-D's. I have the same set (6's on front and 7's on back) on my 67 Corvette coupe with 7.75 Blue Streaks. My NCRS buddies are aghast that I took off the factory bolt on's! I have another set for my wife's 66, but she is resisting taking off the factory KO's. I'll wear her down eventually....Bill S

These two Chevelles are a perfect mix of purest restoration with Real Day 2 additions done late 60's style.

Edit: I keep going back to see that '69 300 bench interior....just gorgeous!!

That's what I'm going to run on the '66 L72, but all 4 will be 15x6 versions. These 15x7s on the front and 15x7 straight spokes have been on the car since '70 at least, but the fender lips needed to be trimmed.....fixed all that but love the look.

See Chevelles were built after 1967!! lol. I only joke about that because Jeff Helns said to me once that Chevelles were not built after 1967. Funniest thing he’s said to me.

HAHA! yeah we do tend to be focused (obsessed) on '67s, and earlier Chevelles...but this '69 just draws me in. I'm pretty sure I looked it over at MCACN, maybe in '23?? or it's twin??

My '69 has never been to any show, other than a local cruise in. I believe I saw one from those that posted pics of MCACN, but IIRC it had the brightwork around the window frames???

----You can run a 7 on the back of a C2 if you run a resto style 7.75 tire. The 7.75's are narrow enough that the 1/2 inch extra on the outside edge will allow it. The extra 1/2 inch on the inside isn't an issue. Somewhere around the stock height would be best....Bill S
