Picked up some new wheels from Rally America and score these Coker G78 on Craigslist for 120.00 all four. Some before and after pics. Before After Next on the agenda is to install the Gambino Taildragger kit here in a couple of weeks and the Fatman Ultra Low II around March or April when funds should be available. Thanks to Jimmy over at Rally America and Alex Gambino for the parts! Later....Eric
that original set looked terrible. low profile wheels are for rice burners, not 1950's american cars...MUCH BETTER!!!!
Hell, you could have taken those old wheels-n-tires off and just set it on cinder blocks and it would have made it look better. But your new wheels-n-whites are HAMB worthy, no doubt.
My grandmother always said, "a girl can wear her finest gown, but if her shoes are ****, everyone will ignore that gown"............. I am SO glad you dumped those freaking Vin Diesel go fast wheels for something worthy of your "girl".
Appreciate all the complaiments everyone......Those ****ty wheels came with the car, thank God there finally off!!!!!!
Haha! No kidding. Man, that looks soooo much better. What a difference wheels can make! Now lower that thing a little bit and you'll be golden!
Looks great now get to lowering it then find the guy you got it from and show him what cool really looks like.
wow, what an improvement. I'd like to see that car in person, you should drive it to the next H.A.M.B. meet here in Houston
Doc, can't get the 235 to crank, plus the powerglide won't shift out of first anymore. Got a 283 with a 3 deuce set up ready to go in and a 200r4 waiting next to it....Be at the H.A.M.B. meet with it real soon...
And I'd bet that the seller thought that they were the high point of the car. They should bring some bucks off Craigslist from some late model guy who just has to have them though. There must be at least one person out there who doesn't think that they are **** ugly.
Well since I live overseas I had to get into the late model thing. I have had/still have Mustangs, 'Maros, and other O/T cars. I know they are kind of gay but it is all I can get and I am learning my **** as there is no shop cl*** here. Anyway I would never but that **** on any of my late models. I know a lot of late model guys and none of them would put that **** on there car either. I don't know anyone who would even consider that ugly fu**in s***.
nice moves man. i'm surprised you let it make it's way into your garage with that other set. i'd have taken them off and rolled it in on dollies.... haha. looking good now!
