Here are a few pics of the 9 yr old wip I have going. Need to round up a few small things, and do a ton of work and it'll be done. One day soon.

Thanks for looking.

Any suggestions on wheels would be great. Have several ideas, but can't quite decide. Thinking Torq Thrusts, or Centerlines. But am open to other ideas also.

I'd love to see that hunkered down some more. At least in front.

[dimebolt]

Yeah It's definitely gonna get dropped some in the front, just in the mock up stages right now, nothing set as far as suspension or ride height yet.

That car would look sweet with the spokes blacked out.

[dimebolt]

That would be cool. I'll think on it. Also thinking some slotted mags like the ones on my Superbird, but don't know.

I think it would look cool with centerlines on it with white interior.

[Bonekrosha]

Weld Wheels or Pro-Stars would look good.

I however am partial to body colored steel wheels and dog-dish hubcaps, they just look tough to me.

I had 'em on my Road Runner

hey Corey, dog dish and steelies are way cool! i, like bonekrusha, was running them on my 69 hemi runner when the big thing was magnum 500's.... but ..... on this particular build, i's find some weld stars (from the glidden kit) i have always been partial to chrome! if your gonna get that thing lower you may have to lose the rear seat.

[dimebolt]

Didn't really think about Pro Stars, I still have the rears from my Glidden kit I built in 1990. Also thought of dog dish wide steelies. My Dad had em on his 71 Superbee, and they looked killer. So many choices. That's been one of my biggest issues since I started is finding the right look as far as wheels go. When I lower it , I'm just gonna lower the front some. The top of the wheel tubs are already touching the trunklid, so I can't go much lower in the rear. Thanks for the input everybody. Will keep you posted.

Another set of wheel that would look mean is the centerline convo-pro's that are in revell's 57 chevy sportsman.

[dimebolt]

I think I might actually have a set of those, I'll have to look. I'll pick something wicked for sure. Might see what I can find in the aftermarket also.

Corey

P.S. Thanks for the input also.

[dimebolt]

Here are the new pics. Not much further, just dropped the ride height front and back. Just a mock up, nothing permanent yet.

Thanks for looking.

Now I just need one of them there all aluminum hemis like vintagedragfan is building, and I'll be all set. LOL.

Thanks for looking guys.
