Crazy stuff eh? Dive you nutz in a hurry. Hope the Delco cover fit ok, I know some of the Std are rivited on. Car looks great, love the stance with the wider tires.. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]


BIG </div></div>

The Delco cover bolted on fine. As a matter of fact, the Standard was the exact same regulator as the Delco......cept it works!!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: pxtx</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Bill, you've done a great job. From the wheel/tire discussions on some other threads ir looks like you seettled on the 14&quot; M&amp;Hs. I think Nova's look great with 14&quot; wheels all around. How arw you feeling about running 15s up front and 14s in back? </div></div>

Paul, I looked at both Grady's and Riches Nova's with 15&quot; fronts/14&quot; rears, and they look good. I'm assuming the slicks are a bit taller than a reg tire, so they are probably about the same diameter. I'm also concerned with the Cragars hitting the calipers up front. The 15's would have more room. There's not a lot of back spacing choices with Cragars. I also like the front to sit up a bit more, and fill out the wheel well.

By the way, I love the tow tabs. I'm thinking of putting the pins thru the holes, but I'm not sure what they look like.
