    Damn, it don't get no better than that, these Rivs were made for Skylark wire wheels. You are a lucky son of a gun.:D

    I'm running shockwaves in the front and cool ride in the back. Air ride technologies. The tires are from Coker. BF Goodrich Silvertowns bias ply. I think a a set of four were in the range of $750 w/ shipping. Still have interior left and it needs everything. I'm just happy the exterior is complete!

    cool ride is a kit from ridetech w/ the classic double convoluted bags no?
    I bet those shockwaves are smooth, but you dont have much adjustability for my taste.
    What size are those tires? 14 - 5.60s?

    anyways this thing is classy from every way. judging by your sentences it seems like you are workin on it as cash allows, making it even more impressive.
    what plan for the interior? T-bird? diamond tuck? or classic rolls e pleats? what color? aha, i sound like a dick.

    The shockwaves are nice, but in my opinion air ride is all about the looks. The smoothest the car ever ran was on stock springs! The tires are 775-15. As far as interior goes, it has always been in the plans to have a Fat Lucky inerior. I want to keep a period correct theme w/ a little something extra if that makes sense. And yes, the entire car has been based on saving up cash and doing one step at a time w/o taking any short cuts. So maybe look for interior next year.
