Turns out the front left wheel wasn't rubbing on rust but an old attempt at a fiberglass repair. The tire also may have rubbed on the fenderwhell just a bit under full compression of the suspension. I may run just enough wheel spacer to clear the calipers and I believe that will cure the problem as I'm running 3/8" spacers now. It happens rarely so it doesn't bother me at the moment.

Car looks great. I want to do something similar with my ‘68 before I tear it apart to restore it. The 15x6 E-Ts and F70 tires are too tiny.
