Half or less....you can always cut more off!

For some reason the 69's look better with the pinstripes IMO.
Beautiful car though!:hail:

I think it looks great after the removal of the pinstripes, makes it look, imho, less like a 6 cyl car that you might see a grandma driving. Really looks a nice improvement with the updated tires too.

Amazing the difference a set of tires can make to a car. Sweet ride!

Looks much better w/o the pinstripes and whitewalls!

1/2 coil is good for ~1". Looks like it would just tuck the top of the tire and give a slight rake. Do it.

Looks much better without the stripes and whitewalls, Darrin.
