Welcome to the site

 

Welcome! Interesting!

 

Welcome to the group... What's sleeping under the hood to move those tall wheels & tires???

 

a Built 455, Heads, Cam, lifters, MSD ignition set, Eddlebrock intake and carb electric fuel pump.

 

Nice car, too bad about the wheels, need to loose them!

 

What kind of electric fuel pump are you running? Is it loud?

 

I agree.

 

it’s a summit racing pump i can hear it click right when the key clicks over other then that not so much

 

no I’m good ... maybe you should get some !! You might like it.

 

what do you drive ?

 

While I have to say I hate the rims for myself, everybody has there own tastes, so if the poster likes it, and enjoys it, that's all that matters, it's his car and money. Welcome to the site, you will find this is a really helpful community.

Welcome aboard and keep doing your own thing!

 

Those wheel make a classy car look like a clown mobile... sorry!!

 

Thank god !! You are just a retired science teacher and not anyone that opinion could have any affect on the value of my vehicle. Enjoy your car I’ll enjoy my clown mobile ! Thanks smh

 

thank you

 

thank you !! Hope to get and give Support !!

 

Man I thought this would be a cool group. A group of people from all walks of life that share a liking for classic cars, different set ups and different looks. That could at the least appreciate the amount of time and money that went into building a classic vehicle... I guess not !! What a disappointment.

 

so why you are now disappointed? less than half of the comments don't like the big wheels. why now blaming the complete forum?

I'm also not a big fan of this big wheels, but there is a saying in Austria: you can not argue about the others taste!

 

If you like those wheels, it's your car and it is a nice car.

 

As an owner of a 75 Delta 88 Royale Convertible don't listen to certain people on here about YOUR car. Although mine is all stock i've been at red lights/the beach etc and been approached by all walks of life to do different things to my vehicle. That's what makes us Americans because we have free choices to do whatever we want with whatever we own. Don't group everyone together on this forum due to a few out of touch members. Enjoy YOUR vehicle and enjoy your weekend. Carry on !!

 

appreciated

 

This is a great Forum. I wasn’t grouping everyone as a “ disappointment “ it’s just wild for people to say things like “ Clown mobile “ I know they wouldn’t say in person. But I’ve already gotten a lot of good info from past post that will help me

 

Enjoy the car as you like it and don’t worry about the tastes of others.

We all customize our cars one way or another. You do you, as we say here in CA.

For example, I’m running Chevy Monte Carlo fake wires on 15X7”’s on my Starfire. It’s wrong to the purists, but works for me. No apologies, and respect for their choices. But, yeah, thanks, I’ll set up my car how I want it.

Stick around and you’ll learn a lot about where to find parts, what the design weak spots are, and how to keep it as safe & reliable as possible.

I have no experience with wheels like that. What challenges did they give you in terms of spacing, suspension modifications, and reinforcement? Did you get to where you wanted to go for performance? I’m guessing the look is on target, but I’m kind of curious how it drives.

Let us know when you have a sec. We might not want to duplicate it, but it sure would be cool to hear what you learned along the way.

Cheers
Chris

 

Killer stance, keep on moving!
