Tony, please detail your rear end set up including the wheel and tires, sizes backspace etc. Thanks.

[Tony Cipponeri]

Hi Greg,The rear end is out of a 1978 Volare, 3:55 limited slip, the back space on the rims is 4 1/2 inches, the rims are 8 inches wide, 15 inchers, the tires are 8 1/2 inches wide at the thread they are 275/ somethings I will look at them today and give you the size. All that I did to the rear end was move the spring perches. I could have put a wider tire on had I made the back space a little deeper. Tony C

Tony, a friend of mine stayed over at my place last night on the way home to Fla from the GNRS. He bought this little cream puff off a bulletin board ad at the Early Ford Store, tore up his plane ticket home and hit the highway. 38 Ford 4 door vert. Older hot rod, probably built in the 70's. 327 Cheby and automatic. Runs great, has a drinking problem, one quart per fillup.

Norm, That is a nice car, I always wanted a four door convertible. A friend of mine had one, a few years back when I was a teenager. Boy did we have fun in that car. Tony C
