Cale stole the slots and L60-15s off my 68 Chevelle to do some test-fitting so we can clearance the quarter lips before we do the body-work.
I have to say, they look badass on it!

Please post some details as well as measurements of those wheels and the backspacing / clearances on them. They look awesome on there.

It was a pleasure to meet Cale and his dad at MCACN.
Agree. Post as many details as you can about this build. I know it is sometimes hard to document EVERYTHING. You want to spend every minute working on it, not talking about it, right?

The slots are 15x8 with 4" backspace rear, and 15x5 with 2.5" backspace front.
Tires are bias ply 275/60 Coker Pro-Trac and 6.40-15 Coker Firestones. The clearances are pretty tight to the outside in the rear, so we'll run either a 4.25 or 4.5 backspace on it when we order wheels for this car. These are just borrowed off my '68 Chevelle for fitment-check before we body-work the quarter-panels. He's probably going to run these same size tires, but on chrome steel wheels since he's going more for a mid-60s look than the early-70s look of slots.

Derek and his middle son A.J. came into the Certification area at the wrong time Saturday. We were pushing cars off the lifts and others back on and he got roped into steering and pushing some. Of course, being the person he is, he readily volunteered to help anyway, so thanks for that and sorry you got put to work...

MCACN provided some inspiration!
It was really cool to see the movie cars that inspired 3 generations of '55 sedan ownership in our family.
