Looks like he's got that anti-gravity field working though Good point, but it COULD be worse... thankfully, he's fortunate that the car hasn't entered some sorta bizarre twisted inversion layer, such as the poor chap pictured below. hey Fred whos is the blue car next to yours? and do you have any pictures of it
Sorry, I can't remember who's car that it is. But if I find any other pics of it, I'll gladly post up.

looks very nice fabs. Be sure to bring me your wheels when you come out. ok jim no probs my 5 spokes have some cracks , but for me the moment they don't move (cracks) but the next step is fixing the torquer on the car for a better driving pleasure , for me 5 spokes are some crystal wheels too fragile

Jim, if we saw more 5-spokes that were not polished, I would not complain. Jay's 65 has the black ones, they work for me. Some more silver ones would be good, too!

louis is the car have a right higher for you thx fabs Sorry Fabs, I am not following you. I think your asking is the right side higher. I am thinking the right side sits a little higher since it looks like the wheel has more camber. I have the same problem on the '67 but I figure it evens out when my fat ass is in the driver's seat. --louis

No, I think it is about right. The original Cal-lookers had stock rear ride height. Take a look at Deano's '67 in KS's book. You can see a lot of space between the rear fender and the tire. You might even think of bringing the nose down about half an inch. If you bring the back down and not the front it will look like the front has to much gap.
Me, I like the gaps between the tires to be almost even front to back and I like it to just frame the tire. Then all the rake your getting is from the tires.

New camera, new picture. The weather is starting to get nice, so it might be time for a ride.

Nice i always liked that car allot, when it was for sale at BBT years ago i didn't have the cash for it i think it had a 356 engine in it and the late Bob Scott originally built it! it was done way back in the days, don't know if it was soo early that i would have been at bugins but this car has been around for long long time awesome ride!

Kobus,
That's right. I bought if from BBT and Bob Scott built it. Have been trying to get pictures of it from back in the day but not having too much luck am afraid.
