Tested my handiwork resetting the toe without string this time, but rather the right tool for the job. Did I mention I love this car? (Already knowing the answer incidentally.)
As an addendum for anyone wondering, the wheels are 15 x 7 with 1 inch lowering blocks in the back I installed myself and the 1 inch drop in the front from the prior owner along with 1 inch lowering springs 475 pounders I also installed with a spring compressor. Tires are:
205 60R 15 front and 215 60R 15 rear. No rubbing issues and no fender mods were necessary. When the wheels are turned out in front, I can fit a forefinger between the rubber and the fender. It's close but far enough out to avoid rubbing when one selects 205 for the tire size.
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Beautiful car!! Don't they make a wheel center cap with a bump to clear the dust cap? Would be better in my opinion.

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

They do, but I like the R model look to it. The R avoided any covers. I put some on the back wheels though. Just added weight actually.
