looking good Mike,
I started out with drop spindles on mine too but the MBT brakes didn’t really look or sit right on the caliper, so I went back to the stock ones and a adjustable beam. I also installed a 1/2" spacer to bring the wheels out more.
The rears I would leave alone, you know your going to get the urge to throw that GL Ghia into the corners and have fun
, got to have some room for tire movement.
If your looking for some hard to find parts, let me know I have sources here.
Chris
