    They look like Nicson, boat stuff. Very hard to find and not cheap when you do.

    Were any frame mods made to get the back end down on this? Looks really good. Same for front.

    can you give me info on the wheels tires, halibrand and firestone?
    sizes?, got a side shot?
    i've been dreaming on since i decided to run an rocket in my 1928 pickup instead of an flathead 4/flathead v8, that i shouldnt use the 35 wires and was kinda into getting me some halibrands, your wheel/tire combo is something that i've been making up in my head that would go whell with my car...

    I'm also interested in the tire and wheel sizes and a side shot if possible. Car has excellent stance and the headers are great.

    Thanks,

    Good Morning Gentlemen,
    Thanks for the compliments.

    Does the headers work?
    Have I done extensive dyno work to test them against others? No.
    Does the car get out of it's own way, oh yes. (and 10mpg...)
    If that has anything to do with tha headers or not, I don't know.
    It just started as an idea and got out of hand...

    The spark arrestors are Edelbrock marine.

    The frame is kicked up about the full frame height plus a c-notch through half the frame, so I would guess 7-8".

    The wheels are 16x4 and 16x6,5, Tires are 5.00/5.25-16 and 7.00-16 out of round Firestones.
