Just picked up this 69 a month ago as a winter project. It has a healthy 396/4speed setup in it right now, and probably will stay for the foreseeable future. In the past I have always been a European car guy, I have built everything from bmw e30's to Golf R32's and a lot of other projects in between. So some of what I have learned with those cars will flow over into this project. As far as wheels go I will mostly likely be going with GMR RC-2 wheels, I have dealt with this company many times for used Japanese wheels and they recently the began making their own 3 piece wheels. My goal for this car is to build a nice weekend cruiser/autocross car with a very aggressive stance.

Parts I have ordered so far:

Ridetech level 2 coilovers
Procar sportmans seat's
Procar rear seat cover
Front valance spoiler

Small garage.... Hard to take a decent photo!

Installing the seats, I had to cut the mounting tabs on the sliders to get some more headroom. Other than that it was a very easy install!

Mostly likely 18x8 up front and 18x10 in the rears. Once i have my brakes and suspension finished i submit the final specs to the wheel manufacturer. I was hoping to squeeze an 8.5 up front but not sure if it will fit!
