    Finished this one up yesterday, full suspension and tons of other crap to fix from a previous builder, and oh yeah, shit can the Boyd wheels. Sure the car still has issues with the tweed interior, but at least the outside has been improved..can't win'em all.

    Wow! What a difference a decent set of wheels can make! The other stuff shows too. I like it a lot!

    Huge improvment! At leastypu did not have to re-chrome any painted bumpers.

    Looks nice. Obviously the car gained air ride as well. Killer look.

    You guys do some really amazing work over there. The wheels really look nice now that you 86-ed the Boyds. I like the blackwalls too. That is something that seperates it from a crowd. Oh 51Gringo I have been meaning to ask what kind of paint did you use on the "satin slipper" avatar. That truck has to be one of the cleanest/BADDEST trucks on this planet. Anyhow, nice work on the car, you street rod slayin' S.O.B!!!!!

    Thanks, it's probably the nicest silver I've laid my eyes on. And to top it off it's on an amazing truck just makes it all the better. Keep up the good work over there.

    This may sound strange but the car looks more "relaxed" or at ease with it's current stance and wheels than it was before.
    It just looked "tense".
    I know.. it sounds strange but it's what came to my mind first thing.
    Next thing I'll be speaking like it has feelings or something. ;)

    Very nice! Could you give a newbie some quick info on the wheel setup?

    I had the guys at 'WheelSmith' make front and rear custom offset wheels for me, they are the Best, don't go to the others. Whats also cool about them is.. the guy you talk to for the order, is the same one that puts them together, they know their shit and you'll have your wheels within a few days...they are rulers!

    It's amazing what the right wheels, tires and stance will do for a car.
