    I dig it. I like these without a chop, seems like there's more chopped ones than not, and I like white headers, too. I personally could do without the radial tires and red wheels, but that's just my personal opinion. Some apple green '35 wires with 6.00-16 bias tires would look race-car perfect on that coupe.

    Post up the rest of your pics. Everyone likes pictures.

    I agree with Squablow in the rims and tires. But thats just my .02. But as for the rest of the car it looks really cool.

    Yeah, the hood top with headers sticking out is really racey looking, I'd love to see it with leather straps to hold the hood down. That's what I plan to do with my banger powered '26 T.

    Here,s some more pics. I do have a set of 16" kelsey hayes but they are the wrong bolt pattern for my axles. How do ya'll feel about running adapters? by the way The haeders are actually fake so they stay white. they are attacched to a set of block huggers.

    I've run good bolt pattern adapters on cars and had great luck with them. You could paint them black so they wouldn't be obvious, or you could tell everyone they're wheel spacers for racing.

    Shit, those wires would really look hot on there, I like apple green but cream colored wires would be nice, too, love the half hood, grille shell, everything. Even the blacked out homebuilt side pipes look early-racecar correct.

    With those wires on there wrapped in some blackwall bias rubber, the rest of the frame blacked out, maybe the spiderweb grille insert deleted and some leather or aircraft surplus straps holding that hood down, jeez, that'd be tough to beat.

    Sorry to be offering "suggestions" on your car when you didn't ask for any, but that car is so close to being right-on, it hurts.

    Somebody needs to photoshop those wires onto the car, black out the suspension, etc. so we can all see what it'd look like. I bet it'd be perfect.

    16" wheels would look killer on there, nice job on your car.

    Thanks for all of the input.I may have to busy and see what happens. I too would like to see what the 16's would look like via photo-shop. Any help?
