THEE originals...not that new ****e

 

I forgot how oddly styled these are. It will be fine as a BellFlower. I like the gold but I think we had that conversstion once already

That long character line runing from top of wheelwell to top of wheel well breaks up the slab side in a truly arbitrary but satisfying way. I quess this is part of that Elwood Engle knife edge styling. The gold should really bring it out. That green on it is unpretty.

White interior?

 

Rev...I don't see any pics when I follow the links.

Benzine...thanks! I think. No...I know what you're saying about the lines AND the paint. I think the car has some really interesting body lines that will worrk well with a panel paint scheme. I DIG green, but I think this car needs gold or brown as the main color. The interior is currently a sandy shade of gold. It'll probably stay that way for awhile, although I do have plans to tie the exterior colors into the interior a bit more thoroughly! I'm not saying any more about that until I try it and see if it'll work. It's also getting low back buckets up front.

 

Dan I think you can't go wrong with the cragars and skinny whites. I think that will look killer. I am going to cast my vote "no" on the slots. It won't work stylistically with the look I think you are going for.

I also ran cragars on my '67 chevelle back in '86. They were THE wheel to have, at least in Farmtown, USA.

 

I know the gold vinyl you refer to. I think you are on the right track with it.

 

I know it's just because I grew up when I did and where I did, but nothing screams muscle car like Cragar S/S's to me. Of course, I could be swayed away from that opinion under the right cir***stances, but I doubt running them on anything say '62 and up would say anything else to me.

My vote for what it's worth is chrome steelies and skinny whites...or maybe body colored steelies with bullet caps and lugs.

Cool wagon though...may I have it?

this better work..i hate Puter's
I had a set of the TToriginals on a 65 Falcon wag and they looked great !

 

I've got a set of Uni-lug Keystones laying around my shop that I pulled off of a '69 GTO to replace with factory rallys I'd sell cheap, and a set of Cragars that belong to a friend of mine but he'd sell them for $150 with good front tires and ****py rears. Out here in redneckland Cragars and 'stones are still the ****!

I vote for the Fenton flat spokes (if you can find them) they make my ****bomb '57 look almost not gay!

 

Come on Dan, Ya know ya want to run those "slots"...I still say yes. ****, there good enuff for at least 2 of my rides. Don't make me show pics of my NEW stuff, the 63 and the 67. Polish the hell out of em and run them!

 

sinkemlow...thank you...and NO.

Keith...let's see the pics!

As it stands right now...unless someone drops some flat spokes/Radirs in my garage, I'll be doin chrome smoothies with bullet centers and lugs.

 

Hurst wheels with big and little red lines, a coil and a half out of the front. Paint it black with two tone red upholstery.

 

Dan, the slots are cool and a good deal is always hard to p*** up but, slots are too "performance" oritented( did I spell that right?) for me.

Open chrome reverse or Astros w/ thin whitewalls will do the trick. Plus I think "Bellflower" style can definately be pulled off with this type of car.WTF!, over.

Here's me rolling Cragars in '75.

 

OK, Dan, here ya go...and I forgot the Studeg***er has em too....

 

I like slots because if ya squint yer eyes real good they kinda look like Hals..haha

 

E-T Mags, 11-1960, but incorporated in early 1961

 

When I think slotted mags Fairlanes are a car that comes to my mind if that says anything lol

 

Straight from the Way Back machine…. Twenty year old thread.
And if it was a current question, only three modes I can see for that car:
1. Bone stock and real clean - stock wheels and tires.
2. Low Rider - Hydraulics and Astro Supremes. (add your Bellflower pipes)
3. Add racer decals, 14” Cragars and 1” white walls - Drag race support vehicle (push car)
