    You have diagonal tires on that ride? If so you know of a good place in Sweden to get some tires? I live in Norway and diagonals are hard to come by...

    Yes it's diagonals.. I don't know, I guess you could ask someone who imports parts from the US.

    I dig the updates.
    I hope the old rear finds its way under a '49 or '50 Chevy. (Better brakes and gear ratio.)

    personally I can't stand a brake booster on the firewall if it wasn't there from the factory, so I'm hiding it under the body. I will update with more pics when it's done.

    Yes, but way easier with the body off
    Can't wait to get everything painted and bolt it on for good though.
