    Awsome car man. I have a 50' that I inherited from my dying grandfather. Car has been in the family for over 30 years,and now its mine. Your car looks super clean.
    You mind saying where you got them perdy white walls from,and about how much they run a set ?

    Sooo.... want to give it to me? How about this, I pay you $100, you know so you are making 100% profit. Seems logical, and you would be giving this hot rodder his first car, sooo yeah.

    Okay, so I saw all the work you did to it. I'll give you 500, you'll make a little profit, not 100%

    Nice wheels and tires!

    The only thing that sucks about buying whitewalls is, of course, the price.

    I believe that last picture would qualify as a true representation of a shit-eating grin!
    What a find and good luck to you.
    Just goes to prove you should always check out any lead because you never know what is there until you look yourself.

    thanks guys, much appreciated.

    DBF, YES.
    In the back I have air shocks, 4 inch blocks and I removed 2 leafs out of the spring pack. the top of my axle rides just up inside of the notch and with my fat butt inside it goes up another inch. Driving it with 2 passengers and that notch is really necessary.
     
  29. Diff cover notch bubble..... New one on me. I dig it!! I hadn't seen this "find" thread before, so my congrats on the score is also long over due... So, CONGRATS!!!
