Raised Front End

Needs a set of vintage wheels for those vintage tires. The first thing anybody ever changed in the old days was the wheels you dope! The first thing!

Those wheels are juuuuuusssst right. Can't tip your hand to the competition, ya know ! Nice set up Tom. What kind of exhaust/mufflers do you have? Or, are you just runnin' strait headers!!!!

Heres a 69 Z, in 1972. BB front springs, rear air shocks, because thats how he liked the stance.

Now that its been frame-offed, it still sits on the same springs, and the rally's still dont have rings/caps



Installed the front springs on the bare subframe without any issue, but after the car was together, thought it might have a BB spring. Previous owner confirmed it.

From the experiences of myself and friends, new springs in general will raise the car the best part of an inch. Our '72 Lemans Sport was supposed to be getting stock replacement springs and it still hasn't settled to where I would like it to be. A friend's big block Chevelle was the same. Perhaps some of the aftemarket handling kits might have springs that give a more accurate ride height. Ours were from a local spring shop.

(I know about your wheel....it's coming from my stash...I'll double check with wayne and maybe get it sent to you when I get back)

[Salvatore]

Ditch the steelies for this application. NO ONE ran them in those days. At least a set of Chrome reverse if you are out of money! Looks like an old Mennonite car from the farm with those wheels on it. Hey Eric.....I thought you were on my side.

[WILMASBOYL78]

Sammy...it's just a workingman's ratrod...if you want to donate a set of wheels we will try them on for size....by the way, you did say that you were going to "every show this year"....thought the boys should know to be expecting ya....

Yea, but I lie!! Besides when did you become a working man? I have a brand new pair of 15X5 chrome reverse that would help that car out alot. I will trade you for them.
