    Another wheel backspace question

    Stuffing weiand stealth or performer RPM under the hood of a 65-66 351w car...

    Air shocks and big ole L60X15 tires sticking out the quarters will give it that 70's look :) Helps braking and handling too ! (How did we ever survive driving cars like that???)

    Another 8" rear question

    Can anyone tell me how the strenth of an 8" rear compares with the rear that came in my 98 Cobra?? The Cobra is supercharged and the rear is holding up fine. The 8" is in my 65 with a mildly warmed over 351. I have a versaille rear for the 65 , but with the wheel offset issues, I don't know if I...

    Nuerosis?

    Cool car. My uncle bought the same car when he got out of Vietnam. Green / black , 289, 3 speed stick and no power steering. He'd let me shift it from the passenger seat!!!

    TCP and Granada spindles. Dare I ???

    Just installed the TCP coil over in my 65. Still have 4 wheel drums. I have a set of Granada spindles / brakes and was thinking of using them until I recover from buying the front end. I've read about some disasters mixing the wrong combinations. Any thoughts on this?? Thanks

    What can the alignment people screw up?? I would have guessed adjusting the control arms was basically the same as adding or deleting shims to adjust arm position. Thanks

    B-J Sells First GT 500E Convertible for $550,800!!!!!

    I'm pretty sure a large portion of the proceeds on this car was going to a charity, so the buyer was prolly being generous (maybe some tax advantages also)
