It looks awesome! I like it with either set of wheels too!

cam.man67 · 07-13-2011, 07:19 AM

Awesome, I've side it before, but those TTOs make it shine!

Heavy Evy · 10-17-2012, 11:30 AM

What size rims are those torque thrust's and what size tires are you running on this beast?

ERASER5 · 01-10-2013, 02:32 PM

Bump ...just because I like you new wheels... that are not so new any more.

dieseldawg142 · 01-10-2013, 04:06 PM

66 biscayne, my all time fav. car. torq thrusts match the era of the car better i think. even better imho would be widened steelies with dog dish caps. either way, sweet ride

**CMACDONALD1** · 01-10-2013, 09:57 PM

Hey Guys. Thanks for the compliments!!! The rear has 275 60 15 on 8 inch wheels and the fronts are 225 60 15 on 7 inch wheels. Yeah I've been thinking about getting some wide steelies just to change the look up once in a while and I agree they look awsome as well. I hung on to a nice set of dog dish caps for the day that I might go with steelies.

Heavy Evy · 01-16-2013, 03:52 PM

Did you convert the brakes to disc? What kit did you use? I been looking at a bunch of different kits for my 67 but I haven't decided since there are so many different brands and I'm not sure which ones are quality and hold up.

Dig the torque thrust, but steelies with poverty caps would be the best option

Well I did not go with a big name brand and for the life of me I can not remember what the brand name was. I think I spent about 1500 on front and rear disc brakes with all of the lines, mater and booster. I had a lot of problems and ended up having to change out the master cylinder and the booster because they were defective right out of the box. It seemed like I spent weeks trying to get it bled and when I thought i had it bled the pedal did not feel right at all (very hard). If I was going to do it again I would spend a little more money and and buy little better quality kit like SSBC or something.

Thanks Matt. Yeah I remember that evening quite well!!! The old Biscayne works quite well for a big car. LOL. Here is a picture of it at a local 100 foot shoot out.

68Gold/white · 02-02-2013, 05:29 PM

Awesome car!!!
My first car was a 67 Bel Air 4 door, owned it from 1975-1997. I installed disc brakes on it, around 1985. It was easy, any late 1968-1970 blody style w/ factory discs, will bolt up. 1967-mid 1968 used the 4 piston calipers, they are unusual and not as desireable (to me, at least).

slammed1 · 09-28-2013, 03:09 AM

I cant believe I missed this thread. Awesome car,I love it.I have a 1966 Belair finally after searching for yrs and yrs for the right one,I wanted a Biscayne but found this Belair and had to have it,

when I bought it

Lowered,frt disc,15" steelies 6 in frt and 8 in rear

DBLSPRT68 · 03-04-2014, 09:29 AM

I just found this sub-forum! I LOVE the 65-66 Impala/Bel Air/Biscayne/Caprice!!!!!!! I owned a 65 Bel Air 2 door sedan for several years. Unfortunately, it never got out of project car stage. It was a one owner car with a 283/powerglide and under dash A/C. The son of the original owner (thought/or actually was) a head gasket was blown, and pulled the heads, intake and cut the A/C lines..... That was in the 80's and never moved under it's own power again. I actually almost had it driveable, with a motor, trans swap and put a 12 bolt rear in it. All I had to do is wire it up.....and I swapped it for another car. I even had a 69 front disk brake set up. I'd like to get another one some day. David
