    Definitely and improvement in look. I especially like the opposite side hubcaps mismatch. Like my dad and grandpa always said "You can only see one side of the car at a time." :D

  3. I had a pair of 40 chevy tailights left over from my 40 chevy coupe project. I'd never seen them used on a 33-34 ford before but I like the way they look with the angled lenses. Cut holes and installed 'em. I also have a pair of blue dot lenses somewhere.

    Not much can so easily make or break a good build like tire and wheels can! Sometimes it's painfully obvious the owner really was clueless in his choice, and sometimes you look at the choice of tire and wheel and know it's perfect for that car.

    What brand are the tires, and what size up front?

    The car looks great.

  21. So how about narrow trim rings or a body coloured pinstripe or two?

    Looks like they are Milestar Grantland tires in the rear, that’s what my younger eyes could pickup.
