The car looks great Jeff! All black is always a great color choice on the Customs.

Thanks guys!.. yes.very fun car.... I am gonna swap out the rear 14's for a set of 15's and a taller tire.. the 14 right now is only 26 inches tall.... the new 235/70 15 is 29 tall and has the same width as the 14(9 inch footprint ).. but it will only lower the rpm's by a couple hundred..I have located a good 3:10 and 3:25 rear pot...(not posi) but it should allow the car to travel at 60-70 in a tolerant rpm range.
But as it stands right now. the car is a bear light to light.lots of fun and thanks to all the great info and knowledge on this board....it has helped so much.

My 235/70 x 15 tires came in yesterday. They are 28 inches tall? better than the 25.6" 225/60's on the car now. I will pick up 5 mph at 60, a 9% increase. The revs at 60 drop from 3060 to 2800 with the 3.89 gears. I bought 5 different speedometer drive gears so I can correct the speedometer. This simple change makes the 3.89 act like a 3.56 compared to what it was.

BTW I LOVE your driver! :003:

Being a driver makes it even twice as cool as it already looks. An FE equipped black 300 sure makes for a sporty looking little rascal! Congrats Jeff, have fun! and watch the speed limits ! :003:

The car looks great, I bet it sounds and runs even better with the big block! Happy motoring in that bad boy, I love the black and stainless, that's one of the best color combinations for a classic.  :burnout:
