WOW!!! WOW!! HOW ARE YOU GONNA GET THEM ON?? I just got 15X10 in the back and I regret it I swapped out the coils and shocks & I still cant go up steep driveways, which sucks cause gas stations usually have those (took me a while to find one I cant clear) I was low on gas the other day and had to go up one and I slashed my own tires luckily since they're new I only shaved a bit of the tread off. Still, I enjoy Betty less now cause I'm so worried about completely slashing the tires. GOOD LUCK WITH THEM AND KEEP US POSTED!!

Mine bounces like a raging bull. I'm gonna try to lower the psi. I always ride alone and weigh 150, so my uncle told me to put sand bags in the trunk.

At first glance I thought it was a toy, then I noticed the people in the back. Its pretty impressive... I like

Thanks for the advice Larry! I rolled the lip. & I'll make sure I get the por 15 for the rust Doug. Its pretty bad back there already so I think I may have to do some more sanding.

Hey yall, So I went ahead with the MOOG El Camino springs this weekend. I thought it was gonna be a hard job and mostly I was scared of the spring flying towards me or cutting my hands. I had one close call, but everything worked out and Betty no longer rubs . Unfortunately, one thing always leads to another with Betty and now she bounces and driving feels like riding a rodeo bull. I'm wondering if I lower the air shocks if that would help with the ride. I haven't figured out how to embed pictures so here are some links to Betty with her Cragar D Window.

Thanks Larry, I thought about that when I saw that it was cutting into the tread. BTW this is the before and after. in the first picture the car is sitting on the wheel. The second is after I installed the shocks. Betty has sagged on the right since I got her. So the right rubs with just about anything on the road.

How high did it get?? I finally saved enough for new wheels Cragar D rings 15x8 front, 15x10 back they look awesome!! MY problem is they rub when I hit dips and driveways... It makes my soul hurt every time. So I took them off and am riding the stocks. I replaced the shocks (gabriel air shocks) and it raised it enough to fit, I just cant hit dips or bumps.. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP
