      Newbie here!

      Sup guys New guy here, Juan Castillo a Puertorican living in GA, Dodge Dart street rod for now still in the process of buildup but nothing that a set of wheels can take care of, I KNOW I KNOW, i don't have a corner carving machine so is not a PRO TOURING, well i bet this car can corner not like a Ferrari but it will be a fun car, as for now it got a set of 15x10 4 inch backspace and 15x4 but in a near future i will get a set of 18x10 and 17x8 staggered set of Volk Racing TE37's in satin black to ad to my car, i really try to have my cake and eat it too, i know i will not be the fastest on a road course but hell i will look good on the street, i wont be the fastest on the 1/4 but it will be fun ripping some 10's in this (i hope) for now here is a rendering i get of my car with the drag look, i still need to have the pro touring rendering that is not other than this same one with a wheel change, stance will be similar as the front suspension in these cars is adjustable ride height talking and the rear i made it adjustable with leaf springs front bracket holes on the spring relocation kit, that later on will be changed for a custom unequal 4 link coil over setup!

      Cool car. Wish I could do both, full on drag car and a pro-touring car. So, what kind of suspension do you have under the front? If it is still the t-bar set up, Hotchkis has that sweet front suspension kit for stock suspensions. The guy that owns Redline Gauges had Hotchkis put some work in on his A-body.

      I take it your car is already tubbed because of the 10" wheel under the rear? At least you have that out of the way.
