Greg & Dave,

Thank you for the response. That gets me in the ballpark. I can start fishing around at the swapmeets and whatnot. Go armed with a tape measure and see if I can stumble across a set of usable wheels, down the road. For the front, I'll probably spring for the lightest wheels I can find. The nose on this "Bird" is front heavy. I want to reduce some of the "rolling weight" for lack of a better term. Another reason to convert to a good lightweigth aftermarket brake in the future.

This begs another question. What about front springs? I was planning to "just use" the lightest Moroso front springs I could get. I already have a set of Competition Eng front shocks I'm going to try. If there's a better idea out there, I'd like to hear about it?

Originally, I was going to rebuild the front end. At present, it's in good shape, nothing excessively worn or bad. I'm going to forgo this for the present. Prior to installing my subframe connectors. I am going to change out the body bushings, I know those have seen better days! A good front end rebuild is something I can do at a later date.

For the rear, I'm going to get the Rancho shocks from Calvert. That will make the rear a complete Calvert setup with the Cal-tracs and monoleaf springs.
