I'm not sure if I like it or not. And with this tire size the rear end needs to drop a bit
I like the stance. Especially if you use 235/60 tires up front and drop the apex of the opening to about an inch below the crown of the tire. Dropping the rear about an inch would help too, but makes the pinion angle even harder to get right (4* down). It especially looks better with Rallyes. Full disclosure, that is how mine is setup... 
By the way, excellent work. Cool car. I'll be happy to be able to contribute with one of my air cleaners to this project!

So what wheel and tire size do you have on the rear? That stance is pretty close to what I would like to have on mine.

Well, The cars owner has finally made his choice on wheels and tires
15x7's on the ft and 15x8's on the rear 235-60-15 and 295-50-15's respectively.
The project was back burned over the winter into early spring due to some parts delays.
But for the 1st time in over 15 years, the cars owner will have his own car at the nats next month.
Thanks for all the help from board members here with issues I was not familiar with.
A big thank you to ;
John Cope at CRT. Tim Banning at FHO ,
Glen Bridges at Bridges Upholstry
Ben at Promax for the TTI exhaust

The car turned out very nice Bill. I'm sure the owner is going to really enjoy the car. Nice touch with the custom AAR graphic too.

Very nice  Since this is his dream car, is the color original to the car or was it changed? Completely off topic, but I spy a copper 67 Coronet in the background of one pic. What is it? My bro has a copper 67 convertible 500. Travis..

Car had a color change ( plus much much more) His dream color has always been limelight and added the vinyl top for contrast.
Copper 67 Coronet 440 is a friend of mines.
383 , column auto. Originally copper ext with copper interior but the interior has been changed to copper and white . All copper in and out was just to much

Car looks great, though the limelight doesn't look right in the shop pics, kinda looks more avocado. Looks good either way. What was the original color?
I hear ya on the all copper thing, my brothers car has a brown dash and carpet, but the rest is copper. Looks like a shiney penny.

I'm not 100% , but I think the color is right in person.( I didn't paint it so I had no say on it) BUT, The floorpan is to dark that he knows and is not worried about it.
Per the vin , it was an FC7 Plum crazy AAR,
BUT, it was rebodied back in the early 90's .
And in his mind it's no longer an AAR. SO ,,, he built what he wanted out of it regardless of what the vin 'says' it is.

100% gotcha, cool car and he gets exactly what he wanted. I'm not saying the color is wrong, just that the lighting in the indoor shop pics makes the color look less limelight and more avocado. I do fully dig it . Travis..
