      New Forgelines--Starsky & Hutch Style!

      Just got in my new Forgeline FS3P's. 18's & 19's wrapped in Nitto NT05's. I just finished redoing the front end (SPC upper/Lower controls arms, new inner/outer tie rods & new center link, AFX spindles, SPC springs & Varishocks) so the front end is about 9" off the ground and the rear end is 16" off the ground----so I got a 70's Starsky & Hutch sorta thing going on. Overall, I'm very pleased with the look of the car and as soon as I install the shorter SPC springs in the rear I think the car's gonna look more "pro-touring"!!.

      Yes, I need to install the shorter SPC springs, but the rear end needs to be narrowed a bit to fit those wheels---so it'll have to sit this way a while.

      Thanks for the compliments. Actually, I'm wondering if the front end being so low will affect steering/tire clearance? I guess I'll find out once I get the steering column & intermediate shaft installed.

      I have one of those original "Hijackers" stickers I bought it from a swap meet. You need it?

      Car looks great and will look better soon. You brought it out of the 80's!

      I may need it, cause it's gonna sit like this for a while---next project after I get the front end together is a T-56 Magnum.

      Very Nice. How wide are the front rims and what is the back spacing?

      I'm building a '66 too.
