    OK I've got the basics done. Still need tires, headers, dash, radiator and few other things.
    OK here is what I need help on. Funds are low (as always) and I'm ready to drive this bitch. What are the CHEAPEST tires I can buy? Yes I'd like white walls or the vintage type tires but they can come later. For right now I just want to drive it. Ok the fornt wheels are 15x5 and 15x7 on the rear.
    Thanks for the help.

    A tire shop near me always has used tires for 5 bucks each.

    Well I guess I want my cake and eat it to. ha
    I want the "look" without spending to much. I've heard of VW tires for the front.

    Don't dismiss the used tire idea out of hand. Most tire places have a good selection of takeoffs that have little miles on them but can't command premium prices just by the fact that they are used. By shopping deligently you could pick up a set for less than $100 that will last a year easily, maybe longer. In the meantime you could be saving for the permanent set while getting some fun seat time in your new ride.

    Thanks! I will check into the used tires. If the weight is around what I think it will be, and the motor I have in it. Well lets just say I will need rear tires often.
