Dude, excellent info on the height and floor height! Can you measure yours in a straight line from the rearcorner of the door to the center of the rear wheel? That is the main thing we are looking for right now. We aren't for sure if the wheels were perfectly centered in the opening, or if they were forward a little. From the pics I have seen, depending on mods, they can be either way!

Wouldn't that sort of measurement be different for nearly every car? Depending on the springs and weight in the car it's going to be at different heights for different cars, which will be different measurements. Regardless though, if you ask me, putting the wheel and tire in the center of the well is the smartest thing to do, why would you want it off center, as that would only create problems with clearance down the road if you wanted to change the wheel/tire size.

RE: '67 or '68 measurements

I suppose you are right. And that is probably exactly what we will do. It's pretty close to there right now. I guess we just wanted it as a point of reference. I am planning to go with 17" Mach 1 wheels, if I can find some cheap.
