71 coupe Thunder Jet 429,Wieand tunnel ram with dual 650 Holleys, MSD ignition, 270/280 split duration cam, C6 auto with 391 drag pack rear end.
I have been working to make my car a BA street cruiser instead of a quarter mile car it was going to be. We decided it was too cool to be a race car. So installed delux door panels a nicer steering wheel and a shifter that is more user friendly. Also trying a newer look on the front with modern head lights and a front spoiler.

I am considering more modern wheels for a more pro street look. So any suggestions on a tire/wheel look that is pro street with out tubing the car? Not sure what would fit under the back with out going outside the fender wells.

 
Sure reminds me of my first Mustang (minus the bird catcher on the hood).

Nice stance and contrast between the black and the chrome. I like those 5 spoke wheels but I do think some raised white letter tires would break up the dark expances of the wheel well areas. Just my opinion.

Yea the scoop isn't just a statement. I had to put it on because of the weiand tunnel ram. It only clears the carbs by about 1 1/2 inches. And I didn't want them sticking out into the elements. White letters might be cool. I kind of want that pro-street look. Wider in the rear and lower profile. You just cant get that look with 15 inch rims.

Thanks

Don



Wow that is one beautiful Racing Ride ?[THUMBS UP SIGN] Regards Lars DK73
