68 GT convertible project
I'm with ya on the having to save up part! I think that tool is called a Percy's Wheelright tool. I'm looking at pretty much the same diameter tires for the 17" Rallye wheels. I may lean more towards a 28" back tire, and scoot the rear end back an inch or so to get more room at the front lip of the wheel wells. I will probably use a spacer plate between the front spring hangers and the mount for them on the body, along with a strengthening plate on the backside of the mount. I already know that I'm going to be better off adjusting the front edge of the wheel well openings on the fender. I'm being a cheapskate on the front brakes....lol. I'm using 73^ spindles, and 11.75 factory rotors, so my front wheels will be pushed out some. I may change my mind and use aftermarket brakes that wouldn't poke the wheels out.....but that gets me back to that having to save up some more part. I'd like to drive this thing while I'm still young enough to be able to get a drivers license....lol. Keep up the good work on your Dart. :thumbsup:
