Tire & Wheel up close...

New look for the "Five"

Finally got the tires and wheels mounted and on before Christmas ...

Wow.. what a change! Hope the ol' man likes it as much as I do... Sill, I do miss the old Stock Car bulldozer look...

Couple months back I got the "Skinnies & Pie Cutters " from Hurst racing tires, but got held up on the choice of wheels... The original plan was to run vintage magnesium American's or Real Rodder small window Hailbrand's up front and my old 15 x 10 steel wheels in the rear... But plans change.. budget and the amount of work the steelies were going require.. I ended up going with aluminum Americans up front and ET's in the rear ...

To age the Americans down, I sanded and scuff padded the machined ribs off and pained the centers a closer color to the ET's.. As the ET's age I will also scuff and graphite the polished lip to give the wheels a little patina....
