Hot Rods New Look for Coupe

I like it man. Good look

 

HAHAHA thats the funniest thing I have heard in long time....Randy driving fast!!!! Seriously it looks good Randy!

 

Brucie.........Yea i love it , thanks for the advice

John...........Bite me{now i can drive fast}

 

10000 times better! and i love me some www's!~ but not on that coupe! great call bud!

 

Ever now and again I come across a car that just nails the right look. This is one of them cars. I thought the white walls were a bit much for this car, but the change was right on.

 

Hot Rods have blackwalls, looks great. Big improvement in comfort and safety too.

 

Interesting so many people like blackwalls. I've always dug 'em. WWW look good on certain cars, but they always seemed like the "rich" kids tire. I'll alert Street Rodder of this new "fad".

 

Tough!

Your choice of 16" front rim makes a difference I think.

Enjoy.

 

Liked it with the white walls.Like it even more with black walls.
Looks far meaner.
Good decision!

Yep - T-U-F-F

 

Nice car with either tire choice. In this case I like the black walls better, it gives it a no-nonsense aggressive look.

 

Back in the 50's we all had to have white walls I had firestone 6.70/15 on frt. and 8.20/15 on rear. But with the black wall radials there was much bettter handling and ride and felt safer when speeds got up in the 130 mph , the 37 felt as if I was losing control with the bias tires when speeds got close to 90. By the way I like your tires either way, great lookin rod.

 

They look great, I have been wanting to do that for a while, I guess I will have to take the plunge.

 

Oh Randy what a trendsetter you are....

 

Good move, better stance and driveability in one change.
Your car looks Great!

 

im usually all about white walls. but i gotta say, i think the blackwalls do look better. your car does look great either way!

 

OK, thanks, I thought they were the same ones.

 

Ok i guess the consensus is most everyone likes it better with the blackwalls.as with everything i do, i spent a long time agonizing over the choice{why i dont know, guess i spend waaaaay to much time thinking about my car..LOL} Anyway thanks for the compliments everyone. Next project is putting in a roll down rear window,ever since i saw Chris Casneys coupe had one i am hooked to do that!

 

Nice change and a *****in' coupe. What's the paint color off of?

 

Looks great, Randy!!
(I wish those tires weren't so damned expensive, though!)

Maybe (I hope) we are turning the corner away from the trend of white wall tires. Looks great, and functionality has rewards of its own.

 

Malcom,,,,,,,,They are worth every penny! I got a big smile now every time i drive it,night and day difference. Id like to thank Jess at Coker for answering all my questions before i bought.....super service!!

 

White walls are for customs, black walls are for Hot Rods

 

real nice look,very traditional,some rides dont pull the black walls off,but yours does it nicely.

 

I like WWW, but the black walls give the coupe a "this is a serious, no gold chain, go-fast, no ****in' around, ready to rumble" hot rod look to them!

 

I bought a set for the Model A I am building. Yes, they are expensive. But if you drive a lot they should last longer than bias ply tires.

 

Cl*** Plus. It"s got the look........ Silent...and Sinister. Nice

 

What are the sizes front and rear? I like the way they look!!

 

I think that's a good look for that. Looks down and dirty.

 

I turned that corner around 1960
