Awesome. What kind of wheels are those? I can see the backside of the front wheel up on the rack.

What's the rest of the car going to be like?

Excellent job Vince!

I have a couple of questions for you....

Does the car have the 3" drop springs in the big pic?

What angles are you running on the shocks? (Left to right and front to rear)

Keep us updated!!!!

Thanks Vince for putting up a the pictures. It is my car, and Vince has done great work on it. My parents bought it in 67 new, and gave it to me for my 16th B'Day. That was many years ago.

Future plans are DSE upper and lower control arms, power steering, maybe hydraboost, Baer front brakes, Tremec 5 speed, 383, with a tunnel ram. Just the stacks will stick thru the cowl hood. Semi custom interior with roll bar. Color and paint scheme not completly decided upon. Maybe stripes or two tone.

The wheels are Budnik, Shadow SS polished. 17 x 11 in back and 17 x 8 in front. The springs are 2" drop from DSE.

Hopefully another years or so and it will get done.

Thanks for looking and again thanks Vince.

Mike

Sorry guys I don't get as much web time as I would like. Thanks for the compliments.
Thanks for the opportunity Mike, its been a blast. But thats the last mini tub job with out my air and my plasma cutter!

Dave,thanks alot, I can fit 8 with 1 up on the rack...sure a big change from 10k sqft aye?
Thanks Bill, The shocks are 15 degree in centered(Left to right) and 5 degree pitch (front to back)...drivers is 5 degree foreward and passenger side is 5 degrees back. Don't remember why but this is how i've done them.Also the shocks are compressed 1".
The big picture is with no springs and tires all the way up...would be equal to a 4" drop I suppose?? I would love it to sit like that but his driveway would not like it. more pictures coming...oh its on my homepage if you wanna see more.

Great pics of the mini-tub install, Vince. I see you even made it in one of them.

What are the plans for the car?
