type 1 conversion beam?


Maybe?? The offset of the steel sprints is pretty good.. I may not have to, the notch tucks pretty good. Depending on the condition of the chrome, I may just paint the 4 lug sprints like the notch??

I am not a fan of fastbacks really. One that I liked way back, was called kissn pvmt, a super slammed bright yellow early fastback. They really don't do much for me, other than '66 and '67 models. I would love to be able to find a pearl weiss '66 fastback, pigalle interior, with a sunroof.

I was going to warn you about all the work you will need to do to fit 5.5inch sprintstars on the back, but looks like you already know all about that. best of luck, I'm sure it will turn out great.

true story. About $400 for narrowed arms, and $400 for dropped spindles. Of course, wide 5 empi ball joint brakes will work too, also narrowing the track a bit 8-)
