    Cool.
    Who did you buy the solid wheels from?

    Wow, that rear shot looks WAY better now, good call.

  4. The fronts are originals,I got from Flyntstone. The rears I had made,through Performance Plus,in Long Beach. Powder coating done by O. C. Sandblasting.

  7. I haven't set the ride height in the rear yet. Just showing the new wheels and tires. But,you already knew that,right dumbass!
    PS- The rake is kinda stupid,but that's another thread...

    My vote would be with the wires they suit that car.

    Looks good, but the red wires with the right stance would look great too

    Oh Ya bettylou is lookin fine now! Great addition!!
     
  16. It had wires on it when I got it,but I really wanted 40 steelies. Plus,I didn't like running the spacers on the rear. I had considered having some 8" wires made for the rear,but black. But I would've had to run spacers with those too.
     
  17. It looked like this,when Rusty had it. It looked good,but that's not what it looked like when I got it.

    I like em.....

    On the 3WLarry note....how hard would it be to slide the body back 2 or so inches to center the tires? Look slike you gotta nuff steering column....dunno how the body is mounted but I'd be willing to bet that its flush mount ont he frame...may have to modify the rear pan for the crossmember but in my head it doesn't seem that it would be too big a deal...

    Anyway, cool threads none the less
     
  24. I was thinking he meant to move the rearend. I'll have to look into moving the body back.

    I see some stuff on here I'M not real fond of so I don't say anything.

    Your car is NOT one of them. 8)

    The red wheels didn't look bad either.
