Boogerschnot 12 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 Got some new tires and did some waxing too. Tires are 245-45-27 up front and 255-45 in the back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
69RavenConv 286 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 Looks sharp! But don't you worry about getting it out in January when there's 10 inches of snow on the ground? And all that road salt?? :whistling: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boogerschnot 12 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 Thanks guys. Im already with you on the lowering. Ive got the original lowering plates that came with the grande suspension for the rear, and I am going to do a shelby drop, cut a coil and rebuild the entire front end in the next couple of months. Roller perches, new uca/lca's, sway bar, adjustable strut rods, roller idler arm and new end links/ball joints,, everything! Rich, if you get bored, I wouldnt mind the help. Ill probably do it at the navy hobby shop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BAdass70 14 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 hey does that 255 tire fit with stock suspension? i think thats what im going with when i order my tires... by the way sweet ride!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boogerschnot 12 Report post Posted January 20, 2010 255 45 17 is just fine on the rear. Its actually a little small. I should have gone with a 255 50 or even 255 55 for the taller tire. I dont really like how the 275 40 looks, its too short. I like the tire to be taller. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angel 24 Report post Posted January 20, 2010 You've got the eliminator hood right? Is there like a 1/2" gap at the back where the hood meets the cowl? Also, can you actually see with your passenger rear view mirror? Or is it just a dummy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boogerschnot 12 Report post Posted January 20, 2010 The gap is about 1/4 inch. you dont notice unless you stare. And both mirrors are actually for a 68. I like the chrome better than the sport but in 69 they only made a passenger side chrome mirror. So i improvised with what I like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
