It has quite the different look from when I brought it to Texas. It was about 2" higher in the front. I am looking at putting a bigger motor in it and then I will probably change the stance a bit more 8-) .

Thanks!

You know I like your 66 8-) .

Looking at making a few changes on the 66. I found out that my front end is not lined up as it should be. Inside of both front tires have worn really bad. I am pretty sure I am going to buy some 145's and have them shaved for whitewalls along with the rear tires. I have discussed putting a larger motor in for sometime now, but don't think that will happen in the near future :cry: . I need to get on the ball if I am going to make the Autorama.

Who has the name and number of the guy that shaves tires for whitewalls here in Houston?
