Default New car need help

Hello guys,

I just purchased a 1967 Camaro SS with a 350 small block and need some help ordering some stuff. The plan is to make the car run and look better. Looking at getting 17x8 torq wheels all around with 225/45 tires, lowering the car, buying a better radiator, adding a/c, changing the suspension, and installing the autometer gauge cluster. What do you guys recommend as far as which parts to go with ? Thanks

i have 20 on back and 18 inch on front torq rims. check my profile it might give you some ideals. I just put 1 inch lowering springs. As far as gauges summit has some dash replacement, and the cheaper route console gages that look pretty good. Just some thoughts. good luck

Do you have any original parts from the car that you will considering selling after your upgrades? I would be intrested in the radiator and just about anything you got.
You can email me at safetydudeken@yahoocom

definately go with the polyeurethane bushings and the torqe thrust wheels look good
but i prefer the centerline convo pro drag wheels i mean they are on a lot of 1st and 2nd gen camaros and they weigh 14 lbs.
the eight in wheels in the front might rub the fender if u hit a hard enough rr crossing or bump
you might consider spring height first
good luck with youre new car and have a lot of funnnnnnn
