    New wheels and tires most certainly.......and don't forget the paint! Interior is clean, what's under the hood?

    I am not sure what to do wheel and tire wise. The paint will be last, but it will happen. It's current power is 350 with power pack heads and a glide. It will have a 327 with a 3x2 and a muncie before long. Brake upgrades and suspension work will be first, and the headliner.

    A 327 with a 6 pack and 4 on the floor will be fun.........especially since that sucker is a 2 door sedan.:D Find Posi and really learn to tear it up.

    I guess the wheels and tires will depend on your need to go sleeper or mid 60's go fast bad ass.

    Do you want them to know you're comin, or do you want them to realize it AFTER you've passed them?

    Love my 50's 2 door sedans. Had one like that, several 57 Pontiacs. 55's were Chevy's and Oldsmobile. Always liked the solid feel of the sedan. You and your Dad have fun with yours.................

  11. That's a clean car man, sure like that.
     
  12. Nice find. It doesn't take much to make a tri five look good. I agree that it needs some sort of wheel/tire change. Perhaps raise the rear back up a couple of inches.
     
  13. Chrome reverse wheels, WW and you are done

    Its on airbags and its adjustable, in the picks the ass was a little lower. I think it looks great the way it is. I know it could look better though. I am just not sure what to change if anything.

    Nice car, whats wrong with the way it looks right now? Maybe wheels and tires. I like chrome wheels spider caps and wide whites, but it looks good as is. Drive it awhile and think about it. Gary

  23. We were talking about the chrome wheel option just last night while Louie was working on the engine room. We adjusted the float level and made a new fuel line to the carb. Small cap MSD and new wires along with AC and a go-through of the air suspension are planned before the Round-Up.
