    Here is my 68 with some new shoes! (pics)

    Got new tires put on today they're bfg's size 245/60/15 on the original 7" wheels incase someone wants to note how a 245 looks on a 7" wheel like I did before I put them on but couldn't ever find anyone running this size on 7" wheels.

    I had them try 255's at first but in reverse and at full lock they barely barely rubbed the frame where what looks kinda like a bolt smooth top head is and rubbed a shinny spot so I backed off to 245's which is a better suited tire for a 7" wheel anyway.

                    You are right about that last comment.....

                    I salute anyone on the TDB who wants to help, ...share information, ...or is kind enough to offer free parts to help a fellow member.

                    Thanks again for the pics. My first Corvette 35 years ago was a '68, so any info about '68s I can get is appreciated. Ridge.

                      Hi Brandon,
                      Your car looks terrfic with those tires. Thanks for the pictures! I bet there'll be leaves on those trees soon and that top down drive will be great.
                      Regards,
                      Alan
