Thanks for the ideas. I will check with the local spring shop and see if they can make a set for me. The car is sagging a bit. I have 215 in the front and 235 in the back and the car sits perfectly level. I think I will try for 2". 1" for the sag and 1" more lift. I want a little rake to it with my side pipes.

I will check out ohiomustang and see if they have the quarters, thanks for the tip.

Mine was outside for 10 years too, and now lives in the garage.

Sorry, I don't have any extra front turn signals. I will watch out for a set though.

Looking forward to the pix.

Tires on the front are going to stay the same size. Rears are going to be the same hieght in a 60 series. BFG radial T/As.

The wheels are going to be like the ones on my F-250 pictured behind my '69 Grande.

I saw a '68 Firebird the other day with those wheels and I like the looks of them.

New wheels and tires! What do you think?

I have to wait for a while to do any more big things to the car. I have to start working on the wifes Trans Am. Give and take time.
