lol.. its a sickness...

thanks man..

 

Im thinking of getting a set of those wheels for mine. I like the look of them. Are those 16in? If they are what size tire did you go with?

 

yes 16x7. found them on craigslist. got them for $120. paint was peeling. a friend sand blasted them then epoxy primed them. then i painted them.

tires are 265/75-16

 

you got a steal

 

yea i think i did ok..

i have a bout $180 total into them (including buying them) and a couple hours painting and running around for supplies .

 

Best picture ever!!!!

 

lol.. she really like it.. she likes being able to see above the cars in front of her..

 

well got a couple stupid little things done today..


put a new oil pressure sending unit in. nice to actually see a reading now instead of it being pinned at 80psi..

i also finally put the RE extended front brake hoses on. they have only been laying around here for 2 months or so.. waiting for the wife to come home and help me bleed them now..

 

Great build thread. I am in the process of an almost identical project. What is the ride quality like compared to stock?

 

its a lot stiffer then stock but stock was also over 200k worn out suspension .. i hope that it will loosed some as it gets used. not crazy harsh . can tell it has good shocks on it when hitting those washboard type of bumps. it doesn't hop around like a cheaper shock would..

 

Thanks for the input. Perfect thread for me. Jeeps and A bodies are my thing too.

sweet 68...

 

Thank you.

 

original 383 car??

 

Yes it is. The restoration folks cringe when they find out. It was already a back seat back half car when my father and l found it.
