Hey BA, That looks good with the new wheels. It looks much better in your post drop pics with the nose down some. How did you drop the front, 1 inch lowering springs and shelby drop?

1" drop coils, 1/2 coil cut, shelby drop.

Also here are the tire sizes.

Front - 205/50R15
Rear - 225/50R15

My exhaust has just 4" of clearance.

Hey, I just noticed that you have the same issue as I have now. I just bought some 05 bullitts for my 65 coupe and not sure what size spacers I need. Did you end up with a solution for front/rear that worked well? Thanks.

iirc you need 1 1/2 inch spacers in the front and 1 inch in the rear......

just bought these bullits from my friend. they have 275/40's all around that are shredded to ****. new tires will be 255/40 in the rear, and probably 235/40 in the front so i can lower the hell outta it.
