A little off-topic but yes, stance is important. "Nail the stance and you nail the car." I think Pat Ganahl said that.

BINGO!
Happy New Year, Bill.

Happy New Year Jeff!

This has been up in the air for awhile for a thorough chassis cleaning/detailing project. I mounted the TTs because I had them. Dang, I believe I nailed!!
I don't feel the need to order repro bias-plys anytime soon!

That Elco is bad ass!!

Correct stance? Finally figuring out the picture posting thing.

On cars with radiused wheel wells it is pretty easy; at least in my opinion. Unless the car has "big and little" tires for drag racing, you just match it to the wheel wells. This guy came very close to perfect.

Man that's one bad ass Opel GT

Pretty cool car owned by a helicopter mechanic.

Ford Ztec motor and Subaru 6 speed trans, as well as a boat load of suspension and brake mods. Even has a/c via a mini vintage air in the dash.

Very well engineered.

Stance
 

Hi all, long time reader of this site, first post. Don't beat me up too bad! This is my high school sweetheart, had it since 1989. Still has the original coil springs. Not sure if it will post.

Beautiful, welcome to the best site on the net! Got a "handle" ? :)

That car has an impressive stance for a 51 year old car on original springs. How many miles does it have? Would like to hear more about your Chevelle. Thanks for posting!

WELCOME. You will find the most knowledgeable, friendly and fair "car folks" on this site.
As the Author of this thread, your beauty fits right in! Don't be bashful. Great people, great sponsors.

Thanks for the kind words guys. The knowledge on this site is 2nd to none. My 70 has 165,000 original miles on it, born with L34, T400, and 12 bolt posi. All have been rebuilt. Has the original green door panels, back seat and package tray, from 1970. All in excellent condition. The bucket seats, carpet, and head liner have been replaced. Build sheet was found glued on drivers door panel, and a GM Transit card was found under the carpet. Crazy thing is OO ordered this car gold with black interior from Wagner Chevrolet in Petersburg, WV per the original order form I have. While waiting he visited a chevy dealer in another town that had a green on green 70 SS 396 Chevelle on the showroom floor that he fell in love with. OO went back to Wagner and wanted to change the color to green on green. Dealer called Chevrolet and informed OO that the car was so far "down the line", they didn't know what color it was gonna be until it came in on the transporter. Kind of a neat aspect with paperwork to back it up.
Thanks again
Mitchell

I didn’t think stance would be possible on a “bowl-mobile” but damned if this one doesn’t have it...

Wheels might be too modern for this site, but I’ll post anyway.:3gears: Cragars and Torque Thrusts would look great too IMO.

Dave, looks great!!:headbang:

Thanks Scuncio

You're welcome Tim...still miss that car. Hope China has been treating you well. I'll probably be over there later this year depending on how the COVID situation goes.

Beautiful 442!!

67 camaro tires
 

A lot of great looking stances here. My 20yr son has a 67 camaro that is all stock and beside new metal interior and drive train are original. Nothing too special 327/210 hp. He loves the 70s look with the big tires in the back and the crazy paint. O yeah shackle kits also. He is going with 15x6 cragers in the front and 15x8 in the rear. The tires he is thinking of getting are the BFGoodrich radial TAs. 205 60r15 for the front and 255 or 265 60r 15s for the rear. Any feedback on the tire shells and stance would be great. Thanks, Mark

Pic I took last summer Of my 68 z28

Do Ramp trucks have “stance” too? 😂

Both the Z and the ramp truck are awesome! Well done.

I want a ramp truck bad. Love that one! Best way to take your car to a cruise in if it isn’t too streetable. Z looks great too

Car cruise at Shrewsbury Pa. Amish Market last Friday.

Grabbed this off of FB....

That is one Bad Azz Nova!!! Time warp!!
Interesting use of '67 Z24 fender flags.

I think they look great - you've brought that car a long way.........and it runs like a scalded dog too.

You should talk to my brother (goes by dykstra here) he posted pics of his 68 Camaro a few posts up from here. His car started out the same way as your son's - he has had various drivetrain/wheel/tire combos over the years (he has owned since 1988-ish) and would be a good source of what works.

Wow stripes, lost Harrell Nova or made to look like one?:hmmm:
:beers:

That Nova looks great, love the Kustomags. Would love to find a set for my Chevelle. Somebody needs to repop them.

Very nice, Joe!:headbang:

This ‘65 Mustang that I was hoping to buy today had absolutely perfect stance. Sigh.

More ‘65 FoMoCo Stance
 

I seem to have a type-I’ve posted BaT pics of a ‘65 Comet, a ‘65 Mustang, and now a ‘65 Ranchero, lol. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...d-ranchero-20/

Heres my 55

Cool car! I have a Glendale Speed Center t-shirt that matches your door.

Hell yes to the title question. I bought this Z28 over a year ago, and love the car but the stance was horrible. Finally got around to installing springs. Love the stance now. Two pictures before and after.
