Re: 1967 Custom Sport Shop Truck

So, I have like... done "stuff." I'm only a couple weeks away from finishing our master bath remodel and will be cleaning out the garage (kicking my rust bucket 67 firebird outside ) so I can do more work on the truck.

To start, I wasn't happy with her stance, I thought the nose was just too damn low. My driveway goes uphill, so this pic isn't exactly a good reference, but from the ground to the top of the fenders curved bump out, it was around 28-1/8". I also hated that the very top of the tire was covered up by the fender when you looked straight on.

So, I ordered a set of GM style aluminum spacers from Summit. They're 3/8" so they would roughly raise the nose +/- 5/8-3/4".
