"Ugly ass wheels"? The centerlines??? uglier than rusty old cragar ss's with flaky pitted chrome????
spinners Teddy bear rims or anything that looks like a part from an oversized food processer... now that's ugly :/

Nah the ss's look pretty cool, like they were put on when it was painted. Gives it balance

Trust me.... I'm retired so I'm off all the time (literally) so when you can make time, we'll go get what you need....FREE! North Knoxville, Halls area.

Tires and wheels

Thank you Shakey 56,
i will get a hold of you !
Thanks again

 

[Flywheel]

Drop it !

Very sweet looking! Drop it till it rubs. LOL TT

HEY There ratrodney
I do want to get it lower ! front bumper is to high !
GOING TO DROP IT,
with some smaller tires on the front & a longer shackle in the rear !
its a 74 nova sub frame with 2" drop spindles .
but it also has those twist in lift spacers in the springs. so some smaller tires 195/70 14`s and move the 225/70 14`s to the back.
cuz they rub the front fenders even though i ,trimed the inside lip off the inside edge of the front fender ! if it does not rub !Then i will start pulling those twist in spacers out ! but if it still rubs i may have to find some different front wheels ! with less off set, but i don`t ,want to do that,so i hope it works out ![S

 

[Flywheel]

It worked

THE TIRES ,DID IT
the smaller Tires did not rub till ,i pulled out 4 of the twist in spring spacers.
and That is where i left it. it still has 2 on each side ! ?
the front bumper is 7 in off the ground. its a driver....!
WORKS FOR ME ! [cl

STILL HAVING BRAKE ISSUES ?
REPLACED BOTH CALIPERS AND IT IS STILL PULLING HARD TO THE LEFT
WHEN I PUSH ON THE BRAKES.
GOING TO TRY NEW RUBBER LINES .
LEFT ON MUST BE DETERIORATING INSIDE ?

 

[Flywheel]

New rubber brake hose

PICKED UP NEW A NEW RUBBER HOSE FOR THE BRAKE CALIPER .
IN STALLED IT ON THE RIGHT FRONT ![S
AND NOW THE BRAKES WORK GREAT, NO MORE PULLING TO THE LEFT !
HAD TO ORDER 1 ,FOR THE LEFT SIDE BE IN NEXT WEEK.
I WILL PUT IT ON BEFORE IT STARTS PULLING TO THE RIGHT ! LOL
SO GLAD THAT IT STOPS SO GOOD NOW !
