This car was set up as a 10.5 tire car. It has a stock front end, the rear is coil overs and ladder bars. Also it has a narrowed 9 inch and mini tubs. It is street legal and runs 10.50's in the 1/4 with a 377 small block. I plan on putting American CL205's 17x7's 4.75bs on the front and 18x11's 5" bs on the rear and lowering the car as much as it can stand. Whats the widest wheel I can put on the front and still clear stock a frames. m

Do you still have the "tan" '72 SS and the Orange '70? How about the dark green 3rd-gen you picked up soon after I bought mine?

Oh, BTW just within the last two weeks finally pulled that 454 apart. Everything looks great inside. Do you remember any details about past rebuilds, block being bored/honed/decked, valve job, etc?

You interested in that set of 14" wheels/tires??
