215/45/17 on the front, 245/45/17 rear. I bought the wheels and tires used. After I burn off the rears, I may go with a 255.

Thanks! I went overboard on the bucket seats, but one of my priorities was to get a set of 67 bucket seats with headrests. They were hard to find and I paid $400 for a set that was soaked in rust for a century and smelled like they were barfed on for twice that. After I spent mucho mucho...

I will post some of the "progress" pics this weekend. I am a rank amateur with car restorations, and if it wasn't for this site and the kind and generous folks willing to take the time to answer my questions, I would have never been able to do what I did. There is definitely a huge...

BTW, I got the car a year ago March. So far I've So far I've replaced the k-frame with a 73 spool mount, replaced all of the ball joints, tie rods (c-body), bushings, centerlink, disc brakes, etc to 73+ stuff. I have a power steering box that was rebuilt by Firm Feel. The 8 3/4 rear is in with...
