Very nice! Perfect stance! The tires fit in the wheel wells with the same proportions front to back. Great job! Give us some details, please!

Thanks Guys!! Bought the car 11 years ago. I found it in southern Mississippi so it was a rust free car. I brought it home and started the rebuild process. The car is a big block SS car and it still has the original TH400 and 12 bolt rear in it. The 396 is long gone. I built an LS6 BBC and stroked and bored it to 512 cubic inches. I have the engine as light as i can get it without an aluminum block. I also have it moved to the rear and down as far as it will go to to aid in bias. I run 411 gears in the 12 bolt along with a Gear Vendors OD unit on the back side of the TH 400. The color is the original color for the car. Its Teal Blue Metalic and the car had a delux houndstooth interior which I put back in the car. I went with the Hotchkis Sport suspension on the car and it works really well. I have 18x10 on the rear with 295-35-18 Continental DWS tires and 17x8 on the front with 245-40-17 DWS tires. I just bought some 18x8.5 wheels for the front and will be switching soon. I installed 12" 99 Camaro SS brakes up front and 11" brakes in the rear to make it stop. They work really well for a cruiser!

Looking good Brian! Looks like you've got it set up pretty well. I wonder what the bias is with the OD out back and all. Ever get it on scales?
