Damn, the're big
New sneakers on the car. Had to get 295/50/15's on the rear. Much bigger visually than the 265' s that were on there. Ginny said I had to leave the rubber on the tires. I told her I already tested them. I got the look.

What brand Mikie? Load a few photos, all I could find was some skinny buildings in your photo bucket.
|
Yeah post some pics.
You got the look at least it wasn't an elbow. |
So you got some AC 13 inch rims:eek: aren't those small:LOL:
|
Yes they are! It is a lot of meat. Here are Dunlop 295's on my car. Can I join you guys? I live in IL (unfortunately) but I grew up in AZ....graduated from Brophy Prep. We still have a place in North Scottsdale, but it is on the market. With a 1 year old and a 2 year old, we just do not get on the plane back to AZ very often.

Merry Christmas to ya Street. I bet you miss the weather in the middle of winter in Il. How long have you been gone?
|
No need for a plane... Drive the car down.
Just the usual BFG rocks. Take a pic? I would need to clean the car and get rid of it's patina. Mike |

My wife is from Long Island and is not a huge fan of AZ. She has warmed up to a bit but not enough to move. I sure miss it. As soon as I walk out of Sky Harbor and take a big breath, it smells like home. |
Wives can be replaced.
Let's see Long Island or here? I have cousins on Long Island, they would love to live here. Mike |
Mikie, with your tremendous HP, you might be able to chirp the new tires if you find a mud puddle first.

:LOL: laughing
:LOL: laughing |
My sister still lives on Long Island (I hope everyone knows how to correctly pronounce that), been there her entire life. Me, I left for college (PSU, when it was still safe to take a shower) and never went back to the Island. Still difficult for me to just visit.

The grille splitter and overriders look great. The whole car looks great!
Is that Viking blue? I wonder if a grille splitter would fit/work on my Backdraft. |

It's Guardsman Blue. There are a few variations of it, but this is the true Shelby color from the 60's. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...925_155148.jpg Here it is at a local show...the picture was posted on a website. It is tough to see the true color in a picture. http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...s03df16a5.jpeg Back to the thread and tires...who do you feel makes the most authentic looking vintage tire? |
Karl,
Let's see a bunch of HP and multiple off road excursions. The last one resulting in not being able to drive in over 3 years. Small HP and over 63,000 miles driven and counting. Now get back to work. We have a run coming up in a week. |

More I look at this car the more I like it....

"Let's see a bunch of HP and multiple off road excursions. The last one resulting in not being able to drive in over 3 years. Small HP and over 63,000 miles driven and counting."
I can't blame my crash n burn on my car or its HP. That was totally my fault. I am SO anxious to get back on the road. My ride with Hector gave me a nice taste of power but it lacked my additional 150 cu in and its mind blurring feel of my eye balls bouncing off the inside of my skull. Its a brute and about as subtle as a Louisville Slugger up long side yo head. I'm smiling just thinking about it. |

I think the Goodyear Billboards look vintage but they do have their drawbacks when driving. Keith http://i1321.photobucket.com/albums/...psb5cf7ec8.jpg |
Keith...I do not think I would do the billboard/paint/stencil on a Street car, but the tire looks GREAT in terms of overall "real"/vintage look. Where is a good source for them?
Are they biased and therefore follow the road? I am used to that with my '66 Mustang Cave Creek? I ate at El Encanto when we were in town for my birthday...good food and nice altmosphere. |
