Re: Raised Front End
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.

Re: Raised Front End
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.

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.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah Wilma, you might as well put those cool neon lights under the car coupled with those shiny chrome reverse wheels to make sure your presence is known! Sorry, could not resist........... Stealth is where its at. Speak softly and carry a big "RAT"!
