    OK, so it's time for new tires and now I'm thinking maybe tires and rims; maybe Cragar S/S rims? Any opinions? Keep what I have or change it up?

    I'm thinking of changing from my Torino GT wheels to something more retro for my 64! I will be watching !
     
  12. I like those Fentons on that Galaxie.

    I'm leaning towards these on my Galaxie. American Racing's take on Salt Flat style.

    Still trying to find a pic of a 63 with pro stars or rod lites. Is a 6 inch wide wheel in front big enough for the size of car?

    I found this pick floating around that's the same color with the hood I want and the wheels look good I think

    nice! dead red paint and evil mag wheels on a JFK era big Ford. just add shoulder length hair and an "***, gas or gr***" sticker on the bumper and you would have set alarm bells off in the mind of many small town okie moms when you came to pick their daughters up on a Saturday night circa 1975.

    Honestly, it looks likes what populated my local drive-in before belly-****on Mustangs and Camaros became common here. just a sweet ride, wildearp!
