    Just put the tires on the rims myself, just need to get them balanced. Getting them to seat, I used a ratchet strap around the circumference of the tire to bubble it out towards the bead.

    Thanks fellas. I call her the "Flying Fordtress". Been thinking about getting some old old school lettering on the fenders.

    Lettering might look good but the restraint of not doing it or keeping it minimal may look just as good if not better on your particular car...... I guess it would majorly depend on the eye and talent of the one who done it.
    I like it!

  18. Wow... I had a few of those back in the day and I'll have another before I'm done. Beautifully done. Where did the scoop come from? I see them at Summit but they seem a little short to me.
