    I'm just a custom car observer. I don't have the vision or talent to pull off an outrstanding custom I've got to tell you I'm impressed with this one. As someone mentioned, the factory should have come up with this, it's just sooooooo right. I'll agree, the wheel and tire ocmbination will put the frosting on the cake.............choose well.

  4. That is some cool shit. Maybe later Eldo tail lights with the same front to back angle?

    I'm not sure exactly what the tires are, I don't think they're Vogues, I think Diamond Back did them, Caddyman65 can answer that question.

    As for paint, we've been discussing some panel painting. Definitely will be high gloss, I pretty sure of that... Maybe some crushed glass as well. We just really wanted to get it all smoothed out and sealed up in a solid color before anything else...

    They are Diamond back, hard to see in the pics but they have a redline next to the skinny white,I think they were an option on 65-66 t-birds.the paint will be gloss and maybe Zman can get some pics of the interior too;)

    She needs to be shiny, I know it ain't my car but if it were. I still love it though, the wheels and tires are perfect.
