The front has a 2" narrowed beam with CB 2 1/2" drop spindles. It has 1969 vintage American Racing 8 spokes, 145x15 front and 165x15 rear tires, KYB GR2 shocks on all four corners. It has a black and red interior (pics later),center console w/gauges, and a Pioneer 6800 head unit, front, rear, and sub-woofer amps, vintage Hurst trigger shifter, Sun Tach, and dark tint windows. I just got the rear deck luggage rack - will post new pictures soon.

Future plans include seat upgrade, fat front and rear sway bars and a rear deck luggage rack.
