    First thing on the list is to get rid of the terrible air cleaner and valve covers. Next I'm going to get rid of the block huggers and put on some lake pipes.

    Nice looking Roadster,
    You might want to movie to New part of HAMB , off topic Kustom /Hot Rods

    wheels & few other things ,might & post probably will get deleted...

    Think about getting rid of manual Vale body if you plan to drive regular ,
    If you switch to Lake , tie into existing exhaust under the car,
    Lake kill power & Loud @ your ears

    I know, I would love to find some period wheels that will fit these tires. Thank you.

    Yea, I don't care for the manual valve body too much. I'm absolutely going to tie into the existing exhaust though. The headers I ordered have the provision on them already.

    You know how people can be with other guys cars, we like spending their money.
    Not sure what "period" wheels you have in mind but those rear tires gotta go, sorry, just one guys' opinion.
    You will get plenty more opinions I'm sure, at least from those of us that frequent the more "traditional" forum.

    I agree, I would like to have some traditional slicks in the back also, but these hook up so well, and on this light of a car, that's important, lol.

    Getting better. We customized some new Halibrands for the car and added some M&H Racemasters to the back and old school Michelins to the front.

    Installed the Lake Headers and had them tied back into the stock exhaust.

    Is the engine equipped with roller rockers
    or some valve train that prevents discarding the
    ghastly covers?

    I absolutely hate the valve covers. It does have roller rockers, but I have new finned aluminum ones to go on. I’m about to be changing the intake, so I figured I would just do them then.
