Many thanks once again! I also had fun watching your "first start-up" video. The first time you start a formerly dead or nearly dead car is always a magnificent moment----such a feeling of vindication and power! /s/ Chris :bigthumbsup

Thanks!
THAT was a very stressful day! Did not sleep too much the night before worrying about all the stuff that could go wrong. Luckily nothing did except for a BIG scare when the paint burned off the headers in a big black cloud of smoke. Thought the engine caught on fire.

Sorry to hijack your thread.

I've got 225/60/15 on my '67 and had to roll my fenders with mideye 4 1/2 leafs, tire tread sits level with fender lip. The bulge of the tire just scraped before rolling and clears now. I think if I would have gone with 215 they may have just cleared w/o rolling? My TT D's are 3.75" bs.
Hope this helps some, I think you have less fender space in '66 than '67.

Thanks, it's right where I wanted it, fender lip level with tire tread so it doesn't look like there's any light space or room for more tire, going for the TransAm Series look. Front is 560 1" drop springs and 1" shelby/Arning drop. Car is level within 1/4" F/R. As stated, rear is 4 1/2 leaf mideyes. I like the ride, not jarring but pretty tight, planning a 1 1/8" front sway bar next and maybe fabbing a panhard rod for the rear.
