 |
|
Well, I waffled my way to the letters out. I think it turned out quite well too. I guess the alignment was super far out, but that was expected. Spindles, tie rod etc are off a 79 car.. a-arms and frame are off my 74.. and I cut 2 coils out of the springs!  Surprisingly it drove straight, but had a weird wobble in the turns. It also turned better one direction then another. Now, you turn the wheel a bit and it bites in and goes either direction, nice and smooth! 
I went with 245/60/15s in the front, and 275/60/15s in the rear. Fills out the wheel wells alot better up front. The guys in the tire shop didnt believe the 275s would fit in back, until they looked and that was the same size I allready had on there. I heard 3 or 4 of them make that comment.
I saw the guy who brought it in laughing when he got in, and all the other guys laughin at him.. I had to go out and ask if he could feel his hair growin just by being in it!
So... here's the pics!

Man, I hate to break it to you, Rodney, but I think people have been doing that since the 20's.  |

I am also lost...
Looks good btw brandon. You can always fill in the letters with some white tire paint. I know we sell it at my O'reilly's.

But...
You own no Chevies...
How can you work on your Chevies if you own no Chevies? 
I'm very corn-fused.

Evidence leads me to suspect that Aaron has something up his sleeve.
