72 RR rolling again

Here a couple of pictures my car. My father and I put this car together when I was in high school 25 years ago. The motor went bad and it sat for several years. I decided it was time to fix it up and I started to put on disc brakes. I got injured in the middle of that project and could work on the c...

Re: Tire size question

Alignment specs needed for 72

I need to get my 72 RR aligned after puttng on new tires. Is it best just to get the factory spec alignment, or is there a better set of specs for improving performance with todays tires and the poly bushings we have available?

I used to have the BFG T/A's in the 295/50r15 (no traction), then went to Hoosier 295/60-15 in the QT DOT wrinkle wall tire (great traction but seriously squirrelly). Clearance was cl...

Re: Tire size question

4.56 rears - will be about 3500 at 70 mph with the 30 inch tall tires. Lucky for me, the interstate is 40 miles away! Just a play car, not going racing
