Nice project, Is this going to be a back half car (tubbed)
I ran a 4-speed in my 62 for a while, It'll be fun for sure.
Keep the pics coming.

3.50 9" posi, no tubs just the biggest tires I can fit under it.

That's cool, Another guy on here got a pretty big tire under his.
It was like 12.5 or so with the right back spacing.
It was R70 judge. Look up one of his old post. Looking good and a 4-speed too.

I would have run an automatic but I got such a good deal on a M22 Muncie I couldn't pass it up. What offset are you guys running with stock wheel wells?

Update, finally got the four link completed, New wiring harness is next. Also went with 275x15 BFGs. The fit dead center with 4" backspace Weld wheels.

It looks like the front end of your upper bars of the 4 link are higher than the rear at the axle. That will cause wheel hop on hard acceleration. Try to get the front of that upper bar lower than the rear of the bar.

Thanks for the tip, I plan on getting ride height set after I get more weight on the car. Its pretty light right now with nothing in it.

When you painted black on frontend did you spray? Brand of paint? Noticed discs on back, brand? Thanks looks good.

Black is just krylon from a rattle can. Brakes are kit from Classic city auto glass, you get rotors calipers adapters brake lines and emergency cables for $300.

Thank you. I bought scarebird s front discs. He has rears for my 57 Olds rear, but different rotor stud pattern. I guess I could redrill.
