i am doing a 66 chevelle droptop , the rear tubs are different on a conv vs a hard top . to make the car sit right we have to use a short tire or make the top sit a little higher than stock . what size wheel and tire are you putting under it ?

Yes I did the full DSE tubs. I am installing a 4 link and I am worried about exaust clearance, yet one more thing to work out. The DSE minitub kit means I can run the exaust out the back and I have not fully finished that debate, Full DSE vs. 4 Link. Payton was through town on his way to Mississippi and we got to discuss the exaust issue over lunch (What a super guy by the way). He has had his fabricated to exit before the rear wheel and I hope to have him share some pix with me. Has anyone else dealt with this issue IE 4-link or C5 rear and exaust troubles?
