Is "stance" important?

[JRC99]

I don't understand that. They're 95% identical to the old ones. To tell the truth, I can't even tell the difference.

[earntaz]

I think the spokes are flatter ... right?

Yes and it is noticable, and it matters to some.

Not even close to the old ones.

Nice car, looks good to me.

[black69]

Here is my GTX where the lift master air shocks still on it from 67 allow you to adjust the rear stance, I push the car's back end as far as it can go. I had a guy adjust the front end as far as it could go with the torsion rods, as it looks so good raised up.

Thanks for the compliments, all I try to do is emulate the stance of a factory street racer. It will make you think twice if it pulled up next to you, as it has nailed it's stance (i.e. a little high, just a small rake).

Those are 255/60's on my 68 Mark. I think the rears are 8&quot; rims while fronts are 7's. Previous owner had to clearance the fronts to fit over the 4 pistons brakes but I like the look of them on there.

I sold my 67 SS/RS survivor about three years ago and have regretted doing so. It was my go-to worry-free daily driver! Recently, I had the opportunity to buy it back... so I jumped at the chance (yes, I have the most loving and supportive wife ever)! Unfortunately, one of the owners along the way had nabbed these original rally wheels and redlines that we’re on it when I sold it.

[L78M22Rag]

I just scored these 14x10” slots which match up nicely with a set of fronts threat I had stashed away... I knew they’d come in handy one day! Here’s my new look.

Excuse the mis-matched rubber. These tires are so cracked on the sidewalls that I wouldn’t even drive to the mail box with ‘em. I also have a little rubbing on the fronts to deal with before spring.

[mockingbird812]

I see why you bought her back. Nice look Helmut!!

That's a great look Helmut. Maybe some L60 and G60 Poly's ?

I like it. :)

[L78M22Rag]

Just what I was thinking... Thanks!

[sixt9rsx33]

Thanks to Helmut for tipping me off to these original Ansen Sprint wheels. Could use new front springs but like the look and stance.

[BJCHEV396]

Stance is VERY important!

[ss427copo]

This one says it all.

[novadude]

Since this is back to the top....

I like this picture I took of my car a few months ago. Just a slight amount of rake and larger tires / wider wheels in the rear.

[WILMASBOYL78]

The 'stance' of a muscle car is kind of like...its attitude. The stance make a statement...don't mess with me, I'm a race car and you aren't.

One of my personal favorites is the Motion Camaro owned by Mark Hassett...it was a blue 68 I think...with an L88...it just had the right look...sorry, I mean stance :cool2:

-wilma

[big gear head]

We got to see Mark's '68 Motion Camaro make a few 1/4 mile passes at SCR this year. What a great car.

[ZiggyL78]

I haven't had much time to work on my latest L78 as the white stuff fell soon after I got it.
Once I put a tire on it the stance will probably change.

[L72Biscayne]

My 66 Chevelle with 255/70-15 on 8 inch on the rear and 215/70-15 on 6 inch on the front. With NOS station wagon springs in the rear.

[ss427copo]

Cragars on the Chevelle and Camaro simply continue to be the hot set-up. Both have the “stance”, correct offset and tire combos. Like a trip back 50 years ago on your favorite Saturday night cruise. I know they were for me, even today....

Nice looking Nova Ken ! But knowing you as long as I have
I remember seeing you roll into the staging lanes with the biggest oversize racing slicks on your Grand National that extended so far outside the wheel wells that it looked like a street
freak ! The good old days. When all we cared about stance and tire size was what would shave a tenth off our 60 foot times! We need to go back there.

Day 2 that Nova !

With time on our hands, I’m digging through my old pics. Being a 427 affectionate, here’s one I owned in the late 70’s.
Motion-prepped, SS427 Chevrolet with 4-speed and 4:10 gears. What a bear! Those in the NE NHRA super stock scene might know the name Sherwood Allen with his string of “Soul Survivor” Camaros. He used to tune it and always said “Jeff, don’t ever sell this car” Stupid me....

She had the STANCE.

[L78M22Rag]

Thanks for digging up these photos and posting Jeff! Yes, she definitely had the stance...

Missed this terrific thread.

[BJCHEV396]

X2!!

[JRC99]

I found an old picture from the 2014 Downriver cruise with the Camaro in the background, before the old airshocks quit. They've been replaced since, and this is also before I redid the traction bars and added the HiJackers logos to the window. For some reason, the new shocks don't seem to raise it as much. Then again, I was 14 then, maybe I just got taller.

[big gear head]

I'm wanting to put a little taller tire on the front. I think it will look better.

[duskblue]

Red z with original stance

[L72Biscayne]

Just put on these 775/14 Firestone Red lines on 14X6 with Factory five spoke wheel covers to give it a stock look. I think the wheel covers are 68-69 because they're painted Black. Maybe someone here knows if that's correct.

Although similar, the '66 covers were different from '67 and later. The black painted spokes came after '67.

Here is my 55 chevy barn find stance...its probably going to have this stance for some time...bought this car a few months ago for my son, he wants to make it into a kind of Two Lane Blacktop style hot rod...55 210 2 door posts are kinda hard to find, so when this showed up on Craigslist I had to buy it. It has not been on the road since the late 60's, early 70's...3 speed manual with aftermarket floor shifter, 327.

The pressure .....:no::no::no:....reminds me of David Bowie's song..."under pressure"


It was imperative for me that the depth of the pleats (1/2") were spot on to the way the factory design them for that WOW factor.

Almost nobody gets them right when redoing these interiors.

Button depth was another issue and my upholstery nailed it perfectly!


All NOS materials were used.

[67since67]

WOW,WOW!!! Shaun definitely knows how to get black right, and that interior, that dash is just plain cool!!I still remember the black LS6 from MCACN!!

Nice work Shaun :worship:

Nothing rides like the big Chevy with a 427 in front of her.

I had the 68 SS427 when I was stupid, just out of high school in 73 and sold it. Then, was stupid again 5 years ago when I sold the 67 SS427. SO, HOW’S MY STANCE IN THE GARAGE for me being dumb?
