news: so we have the tires mounted and we are waiting on lug nuts. we did encounter a problem the rear brake lines are wrong so we will be replacing that. I am also debating if I should/have to modify the e-brake so the shop will be calling Vintage Venom.
Slowly but surely the car is coming along nicely.

Very nice!! Could you put up a pic of the side of the car with that scoop installed. Ive been wanting to see a good picture of it on a nicely done car. I love those rims. How much were they and where did you get them? B/S and sizes too please.

Never mind, i just realized that you already put the sizes.. Nice choice. You have to let me know how they fit up front.. You are doing what I want to do with my car in the near future, since the wife has the 67. Now mine can be more for fun..

Update 1: SOT set-up is installed with the shelby drop! now the leafs! pics will be uploaded soon!
Update 2: Rear Leaf springs and Bilstein shocks are installed. I also noticed my sway bar bushings were done so I replaced them with polyurethane bushings and now its time to get the exhaust fitted:

With the SOT coilover kit how much did you lower the attachment point for the upper control arms? Standard 1"? I ask because I found out with a negative wedge kit you can drop stock-style upper control arms 1.75" or something like that.
