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..

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.

shop ran into a couple of snags: 1. one of the side exhaust is touching the brake hose. 2. exhaust tips are hitting the shackles. 3. long headers mean i had to lower the p/s cylinder for clearance. lol fun week...but we'll find a way around it.
