    Jason,

    How do you like the cal-traks? I think that is what I will use on my 72' instead of slapper bars.

    Tomm,
    On the cal-tracs, I really like them but as far as drag racing goes I haven't had the chance to test them out. Over the summer I put the rear end in, with new gears, and a 4-speed, with a new clutch, and am still trying to break those in before I go drag racing. I haven't had much chance to drive it. As far as quality goes, they are really nice, fit perfectly, easy to install. I'm sure there are plenty of other people on this board that know a lot more about the cal-tracs and how well they work.

    The taillight lenses are from a 65 T-bird, and are also the same as a shelby mustang, not sure which year though. The chrome bezels are from a 64 T-bird. Maverick Man, your website was a big help in getting the right tire sizes, and backspacing for the front wheels (y) . And thanks for the welcome to the 18-inch club, glad to be there :clap:

    MiteeMaverick, I posted a while back when I first got those taillights installed. Do a search for t-bird taillight on the forum it should pull up a thread called "T-bird taillight install done" that will show you some pictures of what we did to install those taillights.

    I just now saw this thread. Those wheels do look nice. In fact, they look bad-ass. Definitely need to lower it. By the way, what is the backspacing??
