  2. MAkes me miss my old '65. Stance and wheels are prefect. Static drops rule.

  3. Hello guys. If anyone's interested, I've been doing a write up on my 63 Riv converting the drivetrain to a 65 and 3 inch drop springs. Hope your all well

  9. Hey Lumpy. I kept what was on it. They are Cooper Trendsetter SE P225/75R15 they rub just a little at extreme turning but I love the look. They ride great and they sidewalls are clean looking. No goofy ribbing molded into em. I got em at pep-boys. I think they where $70 a tire. Not bad and they are wearing great and ride nice

  13. Thanks! Still tweaking it. I need to find a good alignment shop in the Los Angeles area. Replacing the wheel bearings tomorrow. I need to make some slight carb adjustments also.
