Nice Ride.
I've been struggling with exhaust on mine. 2 different muffler set ups and still sounds like shit.
I think you nailed it thou.
I have a pair of powersticks going on next.

Really nice car and I too really like the blacked out look on the motor. Any plans to track the car to get any times on it?

Thanks I like the blacked out look too! For sure plan to take it to the track to get some performance numbers down the 1320. Will post results when we go.

That front tire is 26 inches tall, does it hit the inner rear part of the wheel well.

Its about 25.5" tall. No contact anywhere.

So you have the same size tire in the front, and you have no rubbing.
Reason I ask is, I am try to decide what size to put in the front of my 71

Front tire is a 165/80/15...25.5 tall. Its tight but no rubbing.

Rear is a 235/60/15...26.1 tall. No rubbing either.

No problem at all! What size front wheel and back spacing?

[TOM71VEGA]

Weld wheel Drag lite 15x5 with 3.5 back space.

Weld wheel Drag lite 15x5 with 3.5 back space.

That will fit perfectly. My dads are 15x4 with 2.5" bs. You will have even more clearance on the outer edge due to less tire buldge.

Did you end up swapping the the upper front control arms side to side, when you did the s10 spindle swap.
