The family looks great and so does the car. My father used to tell me I was too close to the parked cars but luckily I never got one. Nice job.

Yesterday I took the car out on a very curvy road......in the sticks and pushed it a little through some 15MPH curves. Yes we have lots of them in the rural areas. All I can say....Wow. That 'By the seat of the pants' feel. Late brake.....on the throttle hard mid apex. The big block, auto in 2nd with 3.80 diff, really puts the car through its pace in slow curves. I can't imagine how hard you guys push these cars at the track. Can the point of no return even be noticed with these huge tires? Lol.

Happy to report....no rubbing. Brakes are performing perfectly. Love this car. Ready for the LS and 6 speed. Ok. Maybe not....kind of worn out. Need the break.

The best part is they remain functional, unlike the Pro Street era. They weren't much for handling with the big and littles back then. Lol.

Great looking car! I see you stuck with the 5.75" BS even though your wheels are a little narrower than the 10" Ridetech says will fit with that BS and the Tru-turn set-up on stock subframe. Even though you are still running 275/35/18 tires, do you think this gave you a little more clearance so you don't have rubbing issues? I'm trying to decide on rim width and BS at the moment and don't want to push the limits to much and then find out I have to modify my fenders. I'll thinking about either 9" - 9.5" wide in the front with 265/35/18.

What tire size are you running on the rear and is the backspacing 6"? I know your rims are 18x12 but didn't see any tire size or BS. I'm looking at 19's for the rear and debating on 11" - 12" as I want to run a 325/30/19 tire. Just looking for help to determine what will fit with as little problems as possible on my 69 Firebird. Obviously a shortened rear end will be needed, but not sure if i'll go with a floater. I'm also running the RT air set up for the exact reason you can see in your photos!
