    lose the skirts, lose the whitewalls, put a dropped axle up front and big and little black wall tires with a nice rake.

    that's what I would do.

  11. I have a short door like that - never ever thought of running skirts on it- sure wish I'd seen this about 15 years ago-I think they look great- I'd run em

    now we're talking. this whole thing where everything has wide whitewalls and lowered in the back needs to stop.

    Lose the skirts and jack that rear end up a bit. Fat Fords look better as hot rods than tail dragging customs. Front sits just right. 50s hot rods ran WWs as often that's what one could find.
    Then fit a Potwin Eliminator cam and flip the shifter over to the left side.

    I also vote no skirts, I set mine low with a rubber rake, really inspired by the way the black one sits.
