My plan is to lower this thing to hell, which would be alot of work, including a custom frame
-Buy a 300 6, rebuild it and run that
-Get her to sit low with MII/Drop Axle/IFS and also maintain a slight rake
-Get some Cragar S/S Rims
-Repalce the original seats with thunderbird seat, or run a bench

 

 

These are some pics with american racing torque thrust II's off of one of my dads cars just to see how she looks. I think im going to go 15x8 rears and 14x6 or 15x4.5 to get a good turning radius on my fronts.

I recently bought some cragars new, and immediately had wheels put on them. Ive included pictures, I also installed a really cool old boat steering wheel that was given to me by My dads friend Greg.

Very nice! Having that patina, work van look with those T/A tucked under there make it look so so-cal. 5*
