fresh on the block

Hello, I am new to this site and would like for you to see my 1966 Oldsmobile Starfire that was just painted. I have a rebuilt 425 motor from Mondello next to go in. I am having difficulty with locating a matchup for 2" dropped spindles for this year and make. Any ideas on where I can order a set of 2" dropped spindles? Thanks Robert

Thanks for responding, my next thing is to figure out the best way to post pictures and keep the computer from freezing up.

I will be surprised if you find dropped spindles for that car. There is probably not enough demand for anybody to tool up to make them. Nice car and welcome.

There is a company or at least there was in the Portland Oregon area called Charlies Drop Shop. They used to take lower control arms and rebuild them to relocate the lower ball joint so it would give you the drop you are looking for. you might do a google search for them and see if they can do this for you.

Hope this helps
