Default plug wires

wow, this is alot less fun then i thought. could gm have made this any harder? the heater core is easier. decied to change plug wires on the roadster. it still has originals and they are in bad shape. got the correct packards from doc rebuild. going to put origs in storage. never did wires on the c3s i guess it would be better on my buddys lift to get to front wires you cant just pull them out. the car is so low to ground cannot get a view. used a spoting mirror looks like a pain in the butt. any tricks?

Try taking off the front wheels and going thru the inner fenders for the front two, especially for a a/c b.b. car. Good Luck, Peace,,,Moosie
