Nothing beats a garage and locking it indoors.
I know people who have had their house ransacked and the thieves left with their 4runner in their garage full of their shit!

Dos alarms over here bro. I keep my car in the garage with both of em armed.

A garage is the safest thing. If the thieves have a tow truck it doesn't matter what security measures are on the car, except maybe lojack.

If it was a sport my name would be "72restorinosport" now wouldn't it. I was trying to show my security system off, it normally looks like this.

I fixed the links, I forgot I changed the name of my folders since the URL was too long for my car pic. Anyway, my name is Patrick. I was wondering what the backspacing was on those magnum 500s since you had 15x8/10s, most people tell me you can't fit wider than 7/8.5 and I knew they were wrong. Did you have to modify (roll) the fenders for clearance?

nope not at all, they had 4.5" b/s all around, i have a pic of another torino with 29X12.50LT15 mickey t and its slammed as well! I had to roll the lips on that one though. I used springs from a 3/4 ton checy truck in the front and the left over front ones in the rear, i almost cut them in half but it sat mean looking! i gotta see if i can scan the pic or something. the tires size you see in the pic with the magnums in 275/60R15 and 255/60R15 in the front.

I bought the 1972 set from dearborn classics, and it is a friggin bible. But I can't find the locations for pass side mirror holes, so I guess I'll measure/copy from the DS. And I'll def check out that forum.
We totally jacked this thread, awesome.
