size, it makes no difference. There are three ways to do this. First, you could remove the shock towers and replace them with 67/68 shock towers. This is a big job, but can be done. It would retain a factory look. Secondly you could cut and modify the existing shock towers. I am doing a Thunderbolt clone at this time, so modifying the shock towers in in my blood at this time :o) It too, is a big job. It could look very good depending on how it was done, but still will not appear factory. Thirdly, going with a rack& pinion coil over assembly for the front end will allow you to complketely remove the shock towers, and not have to replace them; except with flat steel. You will gain a lot of run and a more up tp date suspension. These kits are available now. They are not cheap, but are available in kit form. If you really want to do this, take your pick:o)
This thread, so far...
