Ok I know i'm crazy,and my car looks good the way it is,and I shouldnt change it anymore,but I really love the look of the late 50's,early 60's drag,street roadster look,so I need ideas,opinions,and even some photoshop ideas,so please throw me some good ideas.
NO! It looks great! Personally, if it were mine, the only thing that I would want to do to give it a now look is some bias firestones (whitewall or blackwall ) and black wheels. But that is me and I'm horribly predictable. Hahahaha! Maybe some radirs?
I think it looks great, but I understand the need for a change every once in a while. I can't 'shop it at work, but I envision a change to some skinny blackwalls on the front with steel wheels, and 15x8 wheels with blackwall cheaters on the back. Loose the hood and lakes pipes, add a tunnel ram or blower with 2x4s, mechanical fuel injection with stacks would be way rad too, but probably too much for a friendly driver, and one of those three point roll bars. Final touches some hand painted sponsors on the quarter panels and side of the cowl. Just my vision, and it looks tasty in my head, but I do need say again, your car is *****en' as it sits!!
here are three i did. I lowered the back. Changed your exhaust and painted your car. I would keep the rims and stuff it matches the motor and the interior
No photoshopping skilz here, but i think some straight spoke early American's with blackwall piecrust cheaters on the back and some skinny bias tired on the front would look great. Ok, I lied. Looked for a picture of something with americans on it but the closest I could get were some halibrands from B***' car.
Ok so far I'm only seeing changes in wheels and tires,but I need ideas on that drag roadster look,using the picture i have displayed.
if you don't want to spend money on wheels/tires, which would be the most dramatic way to change, then what are you hoping to accomplish?
Didn't you just switch from black wall radials to the wide white radials very recently? A change from radials to bias would be a good move in the looks department. Outside of that I think you'd have to change quite a bit more to get the vibe you're after now.
You may want to post a picture that exemplifies what your idea of "drag roadster" looks like. Just a suggestion, as I have absolutely no art skills to bring to the table. -Ryan
