# Autolite 4100 Carb
# Headman 44800 headers
# True Dual Exhaust
# Factory bucket seats and console
# New carpet
# Rechromed bumpers, lights, interior pieces etc.
# Rebuilt front suspension
# New leaf springs
Thanks for looking!

Nice job Albert? Looks well thought out. What size tires and rims did you go with Crager package? Jim
It's like a Falcon only cooler!

Tire sizes are front P185/65R15 and rear P235/60R15, since I got the Cragars on the car when I bought it, I am not exactly sure how wide they are however judging from knowing the tire size I am sure the Cragar suppliers could tell you exactly what size rims to use to match these tire sizes. I am pleased with the looks and stance of the tires and rims and nothing rubs or scrapes!

Albert,
You did a great job. Awesome. The Crites hood and the Cragar wheels really set off the car. The stance is perfect. Again, great job.
