    honestly, the car is nice,,,but those wheels/tires don't do a thing for the car...
    (unless you are going for sort of a "stock" look..)

    If you want an honest opinion, the hub caps look too stock. If I wanted a cheap cool look I probably would look for some baby moons. It's a nice car none the less. All that really matters though is what you like.

    Like the bias plys and the stance, not feeling the wheel covers. I'd go for polished stock dog dishes or baby moons on blue wheels.

    I'm a fan! I'm cool with the stocker/sleeper look for now, but after the first of the year I'll probably upgrade to some Ansen sprint wheels and a bigger tire in back, to give it a little "high school parking lot" feel.

    My hats off to you!
    I can't keep full wheel covers like that to stay on my olds for two seconds!

    the hub caps are from a 63 mercury. i like em. may do baby moons later, but for now i like them. it is actually lowered already about 4 or 5 inches. the tires are alot bigger than the ones on it before and lifted it about 1 1/2 inches. i need to notch the frame to get it any lower. im not really a fan of g***ers. theyre cool and all but not what im in to. its still got the straight six. i plan on leaving it in. got a 2v carb on it. plan on putting a clifford head, cam, and header on it. not sure if im going to run straight pipes or gl***packs. it currently dumps right after cross-link. like the sound of no mufflers, but could use the back pressure

    What tires are you running?

    They look like bias-ply, and the whitewall is a little fatter than the typical off-t******lf contemporary radial.

    Looks to stock for me but looks good. Here is a pic of my 64 with 13" Cragar SS wheels.
