6.1 Hemi 69 Barracuda Fastback Father Son Project
After setting ride height, the OTR has a full 1" clearance but the closest is the SPC UCA at about 5/8"-3/4" from side to side...
Set the car to ride height by lowering the tension of the TBs and bouncing the front up and down.
Then checking the range of motion again... nothing rubbed. Scratching my head now... didn't touch anywhere.
Still the closest point was the lower front fender but there was an 1/8" or so of daylight...
Taking all of the tension off the TBs allowed the tire to go up past the fender lip without hitting... straight or turning... Not the same as real world driving so...
Going to stop right there for now. Want to get to the point where I can get it running before changing anything else with regards to wheels and tires.
Note to self.
So I can look back and see where I landed... because my memory is not what it used to be.
Shaved .3" off the back of the Year One Wheels = actual measured Backspace is 4-5/8" now.
73 C-Body Rotor gains equivalent + .27" positive offset = 4.895" Call it 4.9"...
1/8" daylight clearing the lower front fender corner at ride height.
Moving on.
