Thanks for coming out and the kind words! Very nice of you to take the time to travel and share the listing here. My brother and I went to Mopars in the Park Saturday and it has me leaning towards keeping it. We had a house fire right after the suspension rebuild had begun that required my...

Slim: Check Lightweight: Check Sleek: Check Fast: Yew Betcha Sexy: ... ummm.. there's a car for everyone? :jerk: Seriously, congrats on the new ride! :headbang:

Thanks guys, exactly what I was looking for. Love that green Pops!

I'm working on a 67 Belvedere that came with a ton of original GTX stuff. The hood is pretty much perfect and assumed it was GTX but the scoops are blocked off in front and there's no cut outs in the hood underneath. Were the originals functional?

I'd also sent a Private Message.

I agree with everyone else that the car needs to be stripped to the shell to go after the frame, floor, and roof issues. I work in Coon Rapids if you need a hand pushing or dragging the car into the garage. edit: Looks like you posted while I was typing. Sounds like you have a plan and...

I've been doing a lot of searching. To get to the 29" tall tire a 235/75-15 uses a 6-7"wheel but has a section width of 9.4". I'm going with steelies for wheels that will keep the cost down, but to match the centers front to back I'll need to have them made anyways so I can set the offset to...

Thanks Gary, I've been looking at Coker. Are you close to rubbing at all on the front? If I go with a 7" wheel would you recommend moving it in or out from your position? Doug

I went with the MT 315/60-15s on the back and it looks like they'll easily fit with the rear pushed back an inch. I like the look of the 29" tall fronts but not sure if I want to run the skinnies on the street. Anyone know the limitations on tire sizes or backspacing for the fronts? It's...

Nice! I'd never used a plasma cutter till a few weeks ago. Don't think I can live without it now.,

That looks perfect! Do you know the backspace on your front wheels? I'm also going with Steelies.

I don't have the rear housing yet so setting the pinion angle won't be an issue. Need my wheels and tires so I can get measurements for the Dana. Haven't ordered the leafs because I want to see how the wheels fit and where they'll fit to get the right forward spring length. Hemmings did a...

Thanks for the picture and info. I'm planning to move the axle back 1" to clear the front lip. The 30's look great on your wagon!

I'm currently in the middle of doing a mini tub on a 67 Belvedere. 15x10 steel wheels have been ordered from Stockton and I'm ready to order tires. I've saved pictures and read threads about tire sizes for 2 years. My goal is nasty redneck early 70s Superstockish. I see cars I like but...

Where are you at in Minnesota Dave? That Ford sits perfect, great job!
