Tempting, 4-5 hours from me. Looks like a good show. I might go if I don't have anything going on that weekend. Thanks

Glad you have the best trifive, 56, 2dr, post. :) No tips on pulling the body. Steering column is probably the hardest thing to deal with.
Great looking car. Love the two-tone colors. I had a 57 4 dr sedan Belaire that was solid black years ago. I had the 5 spokes on mine too.
Welcome, and I hope so too.
I don't remember where I saw it, but saw a piece of vintage luggage used for this that was pretty neat.
Looking really nice. What lift is that? Do you like it? I have been looking at low and mid rise lifts. I can't decide what I want.
I put this kit on from CPP a few years ago. http://www.classicperform.com/Store/1955_1970_Fullsize_Cars/5557SWBK-D12.htm
It does not come with the stainless hoses shown but that is noted. It...
Ah, yep, after re-reading, I think you are right.
Take a look at this thread.

Edit: BTW, Welcome to the site
A big insult? I have been following this thread with interest and went back re-read it all. I didn't see anything insulting. Yes, others were questioning you and did not think it was boiling,...
I have 245's on 8" rims with zero offset and the clearance between the tire and quarter panel lip is about 1/2". With offset rims I am sure I could have went a little wider. Stock rear axle.
I have heard of using a cheap extendable curtain rod, set it to front or back and then compare. I like the tape idea and roll. Last time I did mine I raised the wheels off of the ground, spun them...
Bama, all frowns here. I lived in Huntsville for a little while 30 years ago. My oldest was born there. But as a UT Vol, we hate you guys! :evil: Requirement to live here. Especially after that...
Guys, I came over here to see more good technical car information. There is a lot of know-how here. One thing I told one of my kids about me moving over here from the other site was that most of...
I didn't care what the factory specs were. When I put my spindles on it reduced my radius and I wanted all I could get. I did what was suggested above. I had measured the lock to lock turns of the...
Subscribed. Thanks
Amazing! Wish I had the tools and the skills. Do you have a youtube channel?
Maybe he is really Elton John. :eek:
Welcome. I'm fairly new here too.
It looks like with the dropped spindles I have plenty of room. I could see where stock spindles might have a problem depending on wheel backspace. I think my wheels are 3/8" further to the outside...
I do have 15" wheels. I will check that tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks
Yeah, I noticed that on the Summit ones after I posted it. They are out.
Howe racing is who had the 0.9" ones and they are about $83 each.
I am going to replace the ones that came on the...
My car is dropped 2" in the front with drop spindles. I have added power steering. I bought the stock looking CPP upper A arms that add 5* caster but never got around to putting them on. I may try...
I don't know the factory spec but after I put CPP drop spindles on I lost a lot of turning radius. I ground the spindles where they hit the stops a little at a time to get all the angle I could...
Like most, I put one of the CPP 500 power steering boxes on. I like the way it drives. The hardest part of the project is dealing with the steering column and shift tube. If you use the original...
