Finishing my dad’s custom 65 barracuda

You said it looked to be 4 inches higher than the tire, keep in mind that those rear wheel wells are modified so it makes it look a little higher I think since the factory rear quarter panels covered up about 4 inches of the rear tire, but it looks nice and they did a good job, that’s a hard mod to pull off. What size rear tire are you running? A lower profile rear tire would lower it too without changing the suspension
I'll definitely raise the front first as it is barely clearing everything. I thought my dad did a pretty good job with all the mods-he did everything himself. It's all metal. Lots of little details like no exterior gas filler, rear deck lid hinges are all internal/custom machine. The bulge in front of the rear fender is out. Lots of little details he finished over the decades.
I'm running 15's by 295's, looks wicked from behind!
