65 dart revival
Tackling a lot of early a body upgrades with this little car!... Front discs and spindle upgrade, added power steering, changing to 5x 4 1/2 wheels, installing a 8 3/4, have a posi carrier coming for a 741 set of 3.55s we had laying around. Planning on drilling out the rear axle. The wheels showed up today! 15x8s for the back w 5.5" backspacing 255-60r15s for the back. We will make a 1/2 thick wheel shim because the rims rub the leafs. Looks like a 5" backspacing would have been perfect:( Have 3 small places to repair rust on the top of front frame so I made some repair pieces with our brake.
Next decision rear disc brakes or rebuild the drums? Not sure...but leaning toward a disc kit from speedway motors.
