Ground to rocker molding (front) - 8.9"
Ground to rocker molding (rear) - 8.6"
Yes, these cars actually sat a little "nose high" from the factory (the 69 GTO did too), but that part I didn't like, so my back end sits level 8.9".
I was trying to get the same angle as the original 69 prototype car photo.  |
I just checked mine, the ride height is similar to yours although I'm rolling on 15's. Maybe it's just the the camera angle; it seems as if I've got tons of room in my fender wells yet yours looks nice and tight.
Anyway, that's a sweet looking 'bird you've got!
