Technical Should I leave It or Change It?

Put the Cragers on it, It will look great. Hope everything is good and not too serious health wise.

 

damn that's a sweet 57!!!




who ever built this...or restored it was after a certain look.... now that it yours do what you want...

 

Id throw some supreme wheels on there in a heartbeat with ribion whites! Or,
Jack it up, big and littles and pull the front bumper off and rock a gasser.

My vote, Path 3. Gasser.

 

It’s your car do what makes you happy. Sorry about the health issues, prayin for you!

 

It’s an unmolested survivor with a respray by previous owner. Wheel will cause to harm and easy to switch back.

 

Just giving it some sparkle will bring more light to your life. YOLO

 

OK everyone, thanks for all the concern. It’s 5:40 am and just got an A+ from Dr. Ben-Zur. I’ve lost count in the 9 weeks of seeing him as to the number of visits. Maybe 2 dozen times.

 

Matter of fact, all my life I scrimped and pinched pennies.
These days I understand the guy with the signature that says
"Money is only good if you spend it"
Congrats on the doc's report.
So all this proves you need those S/S Cragers

 

grey spoke Americans?

 

Glad to get a good report! And, I could go either way with your car. I like both looks so I say you need Cragars too.

 

The older I get, the more frugality seems overrated.

Hang in there!

 

LOL. I like that , Jim.

And weren't really " out & about" for a couple years , can't find anything better to quibble about ??

 

Been there.

 

“Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a
Touch of grey”

 

Glad you got a good report. Being frugal is good to a point, however we can’t take anything with us on the journey to the other side, like the song says - no luggage racks on a hearse. Spending $s on wheels and tires might not be the best investment but if things get tight you can always sell them.

Good Doctors report, hang in there my friend. HRP

 

Glad you got an A+ from the Doc...
Go get your wheels and tires!

 

True, I just can’t believe the cost these day’s. I got more bang for a buck throwing news papers as a teen is where I’m coming from.

 

And you as well.

 

Glad things are looking up, almost thought your doc was Charlton Heston!

Never really been a Cragar fan, what about slot mags or Halibrands?

 

Cragars.
BUT...don't go too small on ANY of the tires.
Your example car, the front tires are way too small in diameter.

I've got a similar experience money wise. I have money put away for retirement. My financial advisor yes, I can go buy a hot rod, no problem.
So yeah, I don't have much problem buying things that I would NOT have bought while I was still working.

Spend it now while you can enjoy it, if you have enough to "play" a little.

Hilarious to me that this ad misspelled "Crager" multiple times, while the little illustration on the center cap next to the text correctly spelled it with two A's.

Personally, I really like the car with the painted steel wheels, I would see no need to change it if that were my car. But if I did want a set of Cragars, then fuck it, I'd buy a set of Cragars. As said, you're not hurting it any.

 

Go, Johnny, Go

 

I dearly loved the old school Cragars, except they rusted too easily, the newer ones just don't appeal to me as much. Still, the car looks great anyway you look at it and having both sets does give you options. Me, I prefer the steel wheels and small caps......So happy for you for the good Dr. report. Stay healthy and enjoy the car whichever way you go. It's a beauty.

 

Good luck with your health. Go with the Cragars. And like Jim, the older I get the less frugal I am. Spending my kid's inheritance!

 

STEELIES

 

Do it. It's only money, can buy you happiness.

 

Congrats on a good report! I vote for mag wheels. I like Americans better myself. Polished or the gray spokes. They just say Hot Rod!
