    They are BF Godrich 6,95 14 dual redline.
    Think they were mounted on some musclecars original in the 60s.
    I think they are cool as hell.
    Aint gonna use the mags up front,im going for original chevy steelies.

    In 1972 I had a light metallic blue 65 Nova SS in high school, 327 4 speed, I had a ball with that car.

    I went to a farm town school in Illinois, the local cop pulled me out of school one morning
    He said, I got you now boy!!!
    I said what did I do?...
    He said I clocked you doing 94 in a 20
    I replied why didn't you stop me?
    He said wasn't no need in both of us going that fast...

    Believe it or not he chewed me out but he didn't give me a ticket.... I really don't think I was going that fast anyway...................... maybe 80 (not really)

    Did some work on the passenger side wheelwell today.
    Gonna grind down the welds later.
    Its nice to put some larger pieces of metal in,just so you can se that something is really happening.

    Did a break from all the welding and got the engine in.
    No fancy stuff just a stock S/B just to get the car running.

    This is just a engine to get it running and thru the tech inspection so i can drive it legal here in Sweden.
    My goal is a 400hp engine but that takes some money that i aint got....yet :D

    Having a car with big slicks and all that with a stock engine is lame,so now im officially lame :D

    You did a really nice job on the rear quarters and the radius wheel wells look perfect.

    The car is sitting just right. The original paint job reminds me of the paint jobs we did back in the late 60's and early 70's with the lace look and other stuff.

    Real nice looking ride and the bodywork looks first class.
