The rear wheel mod should have been factory in the first place IMHO. I think the blue tape is to check ride height and was used as a reference.

The car seems pretty fast but haven't gotten on it yet. The front end needs alignment and there aren't any seatbelts.

I like the rear wheel mod. Do you have any details about how it was done?

Alignment and seat belts are a good idea.
From the song Hot Rod Lincoln, "The brakes are good and the tires are fair". LOL

Nope, my dad did it. All the custom stuff he did like the interior trunk hinges, removing that bulge in the quarter panels, etc is stuff he did over the last 30 years!

He did a good job.

Does anybody have a 65 barracuda grille, the center section? I had 2 but they were stolen!

It’s been running since the Fourth of July. Got a few trim pieces to attach and some details to work out but it runs pretty good. I haven’t hit the nitrous button yet. No seatbelts, and it hasn’t been aligned yet.
