: Here's my 68 project
sunk72 Nov 13th, 08, 12:14 PM 68 Malibu seafrost green,52000 miles,327/powerglide,A/C,KORE3 C5 front discs,18" Rushforth Livewires.In th future I plan on adding SC&C or DSE suspension but for now I'm getting ready to build a house so that'll have to wait.I'm enjoying driving the car right now anyways.
69496 Nov 13th, 08, 12:28 PM Great looking car. I have a 69 chevelle and have been dying to see how the Rushforths look on this bodystyle. I guess the obvious questions are what size rims and tires and how much did you lower it?
sunk72 Nov 13th, 08, 5:34 PM Thanks,I am very happy with my wheel choice. The sizes are 18x8 with 4.75 b.s & 18x10 with 5.75 b.s and the current suspension is all factory with no lowering besides the sagging original springs.To be truthful I hate to update the suspension because the ride is so good right now but I know later on I'll want to carve up the curves so it will be essential.

Gokou Nov 13th, 08, 7:21 PM Man, those rear springs are sagging over 3.5" from stock height! Those suckers have had a lot of use!
Derek69SS Nov 13th, 08, 7:28 PM Love the color and the wheels. :thumbsup:
69496 Nov 13th, 08, 8:58 PM Well the sagging springs give it a killer stance. What was your tire sizes?
sunk72 Nov 13th, 08, 9:02 PM Thanks again!
Ark68SS Nov 16th, 08, 6:11 PM Very pretty car, not many of us Seafrost guys around! Where did the armrest come from? If that's your original seat, do you have the Buick or Olds interior?

sunk72 Nov 16th, 08, 9:15 PM The tires are 245/45 & 285/40.The seat is from a buick and looks like it belongs there.
