    Not sure which of the 2 is worst. Guess thats what we did back in those days to get that Starski and Hutch look.

    Those tires are old rotted 275/60/15. 245 will replace.

    The leaf spring needs to be mounted in the bottom hole to increase the wow factor.

    An update! Rear shackle from hell removed and 1 coil removed from front.

    The crusty old cragar coming off because off because of 4 bs. Got those 275 sticking out 1.5 inch past well.

    Dry rotted 275/14's on 10" wide Cragars got ripped apart by the jagged wheelwell of the decaying body of car and driver . Said to haunt NYs Gunks', if you see it in the rear view, better let it pass . ..

    You need to have a glass half full attitude.
    You got the parking brake dialed in, the other two are just minor details. :biglaugh:

    All joking aside, the old Comet is looking good.:thumbs2:
