I was thinking the same thing Louvers might look good. The rears are 22" (not sure tire size) and the fronts are 20" 245/35/20. It had a minor engine fire and needs some work. I should have it next week.

Nice, please send me pics when you get it home!

I got the headlights in today. I goofed when I got rid of the old fenders for new reproductions. I sold the old fenders and the headlight buckets were on them  :pullinghair:

So I got lucky and scored a clean set on eBay. Of course it took me four hours just to get the headlights in. I had to blast and paint the buckets first.

I went from 9 to 10" wheels in the back and stuffed one of the 9" wheels in the trunk for a spare. Hopefully I never need it because I had to deflate it to jam it in there  :roflsmiley:

Now I need to figure out the best way to hold it down....

There are typically unused bolt holes in the trunk lid mounting brackets. They are fairly far back (out of line of sight) Make a bar that spans to both sides and above tire. With something in the middle to hold rim on location.

BTW your car is sinister looking...
