Cooper Cobra GT's i actually got the best deal shopping local at our little tire shop. 215 70R15 front and 255 70R15 rear. I have Wheel Viniques 14 series Gennie wheels on order so just using a set of Exploder wheels on the rear as they have the correct offset and they were laying in the scrap pile.

Advice and opinions

After bending up the new running boards I needed to install the front fenders to line everything up for the mounting holes for the boards. Then I did a major clean on the shop and got the car turned for a profile shot.
I'm thinking the rad shell needs to drop a little to follow the rake, thoughts? Anything else looking like it is out of wack?

Nothin out of wack from where I sit...maybe the paint on the 440 :D As for the rad shell, I would use the bead in the door panel as a guide line level with the lower edge of the hood. I really like the long straight lines on this car... Hard to tell from the pics but it looks like it may need to drop a hair or two to get it right, but that`s really just because you mentioned it :rolleyes:
 
Nice profile look. How much room do you have up front to work with. [S
Need a front photo for us to ponder Dozer. :cool:

Thanks Bman I have lots of room up front for a thick rad, here's some pics.

Thanks dutch, the engine paint will be changing. I used your idea and ran a string line from the body line out past the grill shell and found the shell was sitting on the rack on the drivers side lifting it 1/2, all good now.

I'm with Dutch and BMan....lines look good to me. Looks like you've done a nice job of getting all the wheels centered in the wheel openings (a pet peeve of mine - I hate it when the wheels aren't in the right spot in the fenders!)

Looking good!
 
Looks great Dozer....what control valve are you using for
the air ride ....

[P[P

It's the manual control from Chassis Tech/ Airbagit
