Its a great resource, but it does have gaps in years depending on the state. If you don't care what state you can check another state for the year you want. -
First, my disclaimer: I'm not a customizing expert! ? Personally I like the look. Purists may have a prob with it but to me it flows well. I do think the look would be enhanced if it sat lower, and I agree that the rear wheel could move in a tad. Try putting a piece of tape primed with the same color over the gap in the front fender to see how it looks. I think it is visually distracting. You may also want to try different wheel sets to see how they look. Thanks for sharing your work.

To me that looks like a good subject for scratch building. Its has a fairly simple design made of mostly simple geometric shapes. The only issue is the carbs, which you can probably trade for.

I've cobbled together a couple from parts box parts. Its hard to make them universal. The attachment points are different, and the wheel to wheel distance is different. I also designed one in CAD for 3D printing. Its designed so that you can use wire for the tie rod ends for adjustment. If you know someone that would print it for you you can download it here for free. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/front-suspension-set

I can only speak on my experiences but I've had the least success with acrylics. It could be my technique, as I'm no great painter. I've tried the 50/50 split enamel/thinner method and it is good to use to avoid clear coats, as it comes out shiny. Personally, I love pre-thinned lacquers for how they spray for me, but you need to clear them. In the end, your patience, practice, and personal preference will determine what's best for you. G'luck! -
I gave up on 3D printed headers. I've got about 3 sets that never fit the chassis that the engine is going in. Like Bill says, make your own.

I see on your site you sell them as a staggered set. Any way to get four of the 15x7? I need it for a 1:1 tribute that had that setup, I also don't think the 10" will fit. Thanks.

Well, his pattern is what I had on my 76 TA I had back in the 80's. This whole post is surreal because I'm planning a a tribute to my 76 with the very tire/wheel combo he's offering.
