Front ride height: Ride height is adjusted with shims (shims in front of pin results in lower ride height, shims in rear of pin results in higher ride height). Presently, there is one 12 gauge shim to the rear of the spring pin.
The gas tank is aftermarket spun aluminum, powder painted matte black. I really don't know the exact capacity but I would guess somewhere around 10 -11 US Gallons.
Gas mileage:
First, it's a hot rod – I really don't care what kind of mileage it gets! There is no odometer so I have no easy means of calculating fuel mileage. But, I can tell you this. Every year, I travel to a car show in Mesquite, NV. It's about 85 – 90 miles from my house to Mesquite. It takes about ½tank to get there so a good guess would be about 15-16 MPG.
No, there is no speedometer, I use the portable GPS speedometer you see in the picture – no, it is not included in the sale price.
No, the seats are not adjustable. I am6'-2”, the seats are comfortable for me, if you are considerably shorter, you would probably have to move the seat.
Tires are 235/75R15 Rear and 145/78R15 Front
Steering Wheel brand is “Bernini”
Headers are Stainless Steel
Wiring is shop fabricated – I canf urnish a schematic if you need one.
