    Can you elaborate on that a little more? Do I just shim the front bolt on the upper control arm more then the rear bolt? Tim

    New Wheels and Tires

    I've got to see your car in person one day, so I can check out how you stuffed those tires in there. I think I have the inner and outer clearances to go up to at least a 235/40 in front, but my problem is the front of the wheel well opening. When I first installed these 225/45/17's I had...

    New Wheels and Tires

    Thanks, I think 16's look best on the '65-'66's, but I wanted that 13" disc rotor and a the better tire selection. They're the Global West Category 5 kit. I really like them, they use a 2 piece rotor with a nice billet aluminum hub. Also, I bought the 11.75" kit when I had my 15" wheels...

    New Wheels and Tires

    The wide rear tires help to provide traction, both in acceleration and cornering (keeping the rear in place). As for the plow, plow, plow; I'm still working on that. But I have made some significant improvements by going with Global West upper control arms relocated 1.75" and running 1.5*...

    New Wheels and Tires

    Now that I have the wheels/tires mounted and have checked the clearance and run an autocross; I could definately go one size bigger out back. I'm sure that I have enough room for a 255/45/17 tire out back, but the front is maxed out at 225/45/17. Tim

    side exit exhaust

    iapexl8r, That looks like an awesome set up! Any more pictures of how you worked the side exits around your subframe connectors? Also, I would love a sound clip when you get the installation finished. Tim

    Questions about building a 1965 race fastback

    I'm not sure you are going to be competitive with you dad's Daytona Coupe, but here is what I would suggest in order of how I would approach it (I have posted this before in another thread). 1. Monty Carlo Bar and Export Brace - These are cheap, easy modifications that can be done in an...

    Drop in aftermarket gauges for '66?

    $345.00 for the gauge bezel, wiring harness and 6 Stewart Warner gauges!, sorry but there is no way you are going to beat that deal. For the money that looks like a great set up. Tim

    brake question

    I may be, I know the 8.8" uses C-clips to retain the axles. I, also, thought the 8" used C-clips. Tim

    i keep bending clutch rods

    Here's what I put on mine, they're a basic ricer pedal cover. But I drilled and tapped my pedals when I installed them. They come with a slip over type bracket that is sure to ruin your shoes and slip at an inopportune moment. This guy over on VMF used late model pedal covers -...

    brake question

    What rear end will you be using? You don't want to run fixed calipers in the back if your rear axles are retained by "C" clips. Axles with C-clips tend to have side to side movement. This can cause pad kick back - since the caliper is fixed, if the axle moves outward it forces the pad of the...
