I too think it flows well going straight across and thicker.  It was painted on a long time ago.  Thanks everyone

Love the old school look. Are those tires still pliable? That combination really works. I tried the old school look with mine.

That looks great Scat Pack Fever.  I see you used Bias Ply tires for yours as well.  I actually sold this set a week or two ago to a guy with a 69 W30 442, black, should look good on that car.

It looks like you have Pro-Trac's in the rear and Polyglas in the front Scat Pack Fever?

I was thinking of going that route although Pro-Trac doesn't make a shorter-wider tire in the 60 series without clearance issue.

I ended up going with a different combo, see attached.  Should have it on this weekend.  Still got my Rallyes, for both looks/styles.

Yes! The back tires are brand new pro tracs. The fronts are vintage "Interceptor" tires that I flipped around so I could have the black wall. I dont drive on them too fast because of the age. I plan on getting new bias tires for the front and doing the same thing by flipping them around. The backs are 15" and the fronts are 14".

What sizes are the new tires you have? Are those nos rims? cant wait to see them on your challenger. I am into the day 2 look. I dont care for the modified with new aftermarket parts look. but to each his own.

That looks great.  For a minute there, I thought Cuda Jas got a Challenger
