    The Cragars look good, but I'd get steelies painted body color and add dog dish hub caps. For a stance, I'd just lower the front to get a slight nose down attitude. Rent the Hollywood Knights and check out Newbomb Turk's Pie Wagon.

    The pic above with the std size cragars (not the tubbed look) looks PERFECT to me. I wouldn't even paint it. A few surf decals in the back windows and hit the streets. Nice...

    I like cragers, but Speedsters are a lot nicer IMO. Sick ride man, and good luck with it. Lets see some pictures when you're done !

  17. I'll third the "drop it and drive it". Or, just drive it and fix it up mechanically.

    Thanks,

    I guess I'm the only one who liked the old wheels and tires. Based on stories I'm told, mags in front and chrome reversed in back was a real common combination in the middle sixties, at least in Michigan.

    Yes. I will be leaving them on. I bought a 4 speed for it lastnight. Today i need to find some cheep mufflers, It seems to run ok but, sounds like a demo derby car. (One glass pack and one turbo muffler with a big leak!) :D

    What's the story on the black Plymouth in the garage? Looks like a contender.

    That Mopar is the ass kicker of the bunch! I used to have a '63 Polara with the Max Wedge intake on top of a 12.5:1 440 I built.

    While you're busy lowering that wagon, drop the nose of that Plymouth, too! LOL

    You've got some cool projects Man...You might be too cool for SD. They might make you move if you get much cooler.
