[QUOTE="DKS2814V, post: 14213410, member: 27079"] As one could see, the car required substantial body work. It seems as if the previous owner, who had dreams of turning it into a race car, had banged it up a bit in the rear...the damage was trivial from the outside, but the surprises would come. However, we trucked along. First up was getting the suspension set up and put on the car, and off the silly dolly. The suspension is relatively beefed up, compared to stock. Good amount of camber, and caster. I pan to drive the proverbial wheels off the car, as well as tool around with it on the track. Been racing since I was 17, so the plans are to create one helluva a street car with enough sass to heckle some Corvettes (albeit the Pre-C7 cars). [ATTACH=full]580434[/ATTACH] ...clearly, the wheels don't fit, as I was using my Dad's old '71 wheels that were 15" tall. Those weren't cutting it for me, as I was planning on a nice little resto-mod style to the existing design perfection (IMO). [ATTACH=full]580435[/ATTACH] Had some plans to get wheels similar to these...but, they halted production, so I was left to find another path forward. [ATTACH=full]580436[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
