    Paint it neon orange with some purple stripes and leave the rims alone! I love the 80's!

    Honestly, the only thing I hope you don't do is paint some fake faded out shop name on the doors. That is getting really old.

    One of those rear rims and tires will weigh less than a 5.60 X 15 and tube on a steel rim.

    Boy, that picture really brings back memories! It reminds me of a Willys pickup that raced at Niagara Dragway in the late 60's except that one was higher and was green. Maybe it was actually a sedan, in fact I think it may have been a Chevy, maybe '55. Oh, maybe that wasn't at Niagara, it may have been US 30 in York or Dragway 42 in Ohio--hey--it was the 60's!!!:rolleyes:

    Nice start, whether you decide to go early 60s style as described above, or make it look like a later (late 60s) car with the stance it has now. Lots of potential there.

    This is the wifes (tall w/long legs). BBC.
    Pushed the firewalll out toward the engine on the drivers side. I raised the seat 2 1/2 " and cut down the back of the seat and tucked it under the window. Lot of leg room for her.

    Sorry to say the truck is put away for the season. We store it in a large warehouse. The other cars are all packed in and it is impossible to get to. I would be glad to answer any questions that you have but just can't get any pics till May 1st.

    Sorry

    Cool Truck, a Willys looks Bad *** any style as long as you don't cut it up and put Mercedes Benz head lights in it. G***er style is the BADDEST though in my book.:cool:
