I will not answer honestly as I may find I like it even more than I did before which is not possible. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]

Speaking of stance, Roy, you need to post a pic or two of some of the killer Corvettes at your place.

And... since I asked you to do it, no one can complain that it is a shameless plug.

L60x15 Mickey Thompson on 8&quot; Cragars. E78x15 Goodyears bias on original 4.5&quot; Cragars. Fronts fit real nice and fill the wheel well.

The '66 SS396 that Stefano has for sale has its original, born-with springs and thus a killer original stance:

That Chevelle's look is perfect. No Viagra needed for the next 4 hours.

Stance you say


Chevelle as it sits now, with the top pic to show the wheel centers and other stance


5 or 6 years ago, prior to suspension mods and change to 18 &quot; wheels. In this pic it has 15 X 7 and 15 X 8.5&quot; 200S wheels with centers I machined and 235-60's BFG's and 29-12.50-15 Hoosier Pro Street Radials.
I feel wheel choice and stance are pretty much the most important factors in modifying a car.

Dusk Blue is so nice on a '69 Chevelle. Great photography, thanks for sharing.

That's with the Moroso Drag Springs in the back. Have since put the stock springs back in as I didn't care for how it sat cockeyed.

Bought the car just as it sits 22 years ago. Will get around to correcting the stripes one of these days.
