Ordered a disc brake conversion kit today with a new master cylinder and a bunch of other bits a pieces.

Still need to find a radiator.

I'm partial to these wheels.

Very cool, I love a 55'!!! I like the wheel choice, maybe a little wider for the rear.

I'm kinda thinking matching widths all the way around, with coker tall white walls eventually.

I do like the idea of some winder torque thrust 2 wheels with some low profile wide tires too.

What!? I think something like below would be sweet.

Not really. Not with out taking the body all the way down to bare metal and fixing any subsequent holes. I'm thinking the drivers side thats been primered might get stripped.
