Very nice ride! Those big bodies need big wheels, go with at least 18s. TT Classics in gray spokes would be sweet

Nice! Here's a pic of my 70'...I'm starting an LS1/T56 conversion this winter (and this is getting me excited!). This is the second 70' I've had....you will want 18" on it. Had 17's on the last one, and just not quite enough wheel for the huges wheel wells these cars have. I'm running Billet Vintiques on this one....18x9.5 and 18x8.

Looks great! I want the TTDs on this one (Grey spokes). Looks like 4.5" BS and around 10" wide tire. I have 4:11 gears and have 28" tires on it now. I like the way it rolls on the HWY. I still want a 28 inch tall wheel. what are the size of your wheels? You will love the LS1. Thanks
