Looks very nice. Looks like you did the body work yourself. Who did the paint.

stevengerard

looks great, I'm not one for large rims like those but they sure look good, I like the black out treatment on the spoiler and hood too something different and tasteful

Thanks citcapp! Had the same guy do the bodywork and the paint. Mike Torres from Houston.

Appreciate that Steven! This is the first set of large wheels for me too. 17s and 18s. I like em!

Great work! Those are about the biggest wheels that look good on these cars. They fit and look very nice.
Love that color! Now go drive, show, and enjoy...

Joffroi

Great Look! Where did you end up getting your hood and spoiler at?

Oldsguy

I like it too, paint and wheels. Interesting treatment on the front hood. Not bad....

cutlassgal

Very nice!!

slowolds

Very cool combo on color/hood/wheels!
Can we all chip in and buy you a shirt that fits?

looks awesome. how much bigger is the tire/rim combo from the original? cant imagine even with the low profile tires it is a 1 for 1 trade. what color is the interior? is it brown or is it green?

Jamesbo

And cover up his "Tool Shed" ?

Nice car. We're jes fun'in witcha.

I like the stance of the car. Did you do anything to the suspension? Or is the look mainly achieved with the wheel/tire combo?

Nice car!

Nope don't like it at all. It doesn't deserve to be in your garage... I think you should give it to me so you don't need to look at it any longer!!!

don71

Thumbs up, Nice Job. Has a good stance and tastefully done. I'd be curious as to your tire sizes also.

Don L/442

It looks like 25 months of effort will give you a lifetime of enjoyment!!!!!
Nice job.

I agree! The color is the original color the car was from the factory so I decided to go back with that. Annnnnnd, my first show was tonight!

Thanks Joffroi! The spoiler came from Year One but the hood is an original.

Thanks! The hood was my friend David's idea. He drew the car out on paper, kinda Chip Foose style, and it looked good so I had him lay the stripes and my paintman did the rest!

Thanks Cutlassgal!!!

I appreciate that! HAHAHAHHAHA I was going for the Saskwatch look!

Thanks bro! Well, I have yet to measure but there is not much difference on the front wheel. The back on the otherhand is much taller. The interior is a chocolate brown from a 72.

Cool. If I am a 3 with my shirt up......I gotta be at least a 7 in the car!!!!

Thanks D1! I went with Eibach lowering springs plus the wheel tire combo gave it this stance. Thought it looked kinda "muscle car".

Ummmm. I'll ship it out tomorrow. Is the check in the mail????

Thanks don!!! I'll try to get that posted for ya. I played musical tires to find some that fit.

I hope so! Second time around is definetely better!

How about a little walkaround.
