I have know the body guys since High School. His boy does really Show Quality Paint work. He has won a couple best of show in Pittsbugh!
I do not know what type of projects he won on! He loves these old cars. He has a couple show trucks. Just clean straight original stuff that they re did. They just built on to the garage and added a new Paint booth with all the bells and whistles and hope doing my car will help get the word out that they are doing Total reconditions on Antiques etc not just Insurance work! I think they will do me a good job because they both know that if I was able I would do it myself. I loved doing paintwork and use to do it for living!
As far as wheels I will go 15 inch Road Wheels and BFGs. The same Tire size combo I had on my Challenger I just sold.
I like Crager SS and at one time that is all I ran. I do not know how many new sets I bought back in the 70's and 80"s. I had them on all my Darts, Dusters and my 71 Challenger I sold in 84.

I like the look of Mc Mopars Runner and I believe that is the combo he told me he ran a couple years back!!!

My 69 Post car that I had in 2000 had them but they were only 14 inch with really small tires on them. Had the "BIG Bird Look" all body no legs going!!!

 

[Basketcase]

sweet!

 

[joewhite440]

I got the Road Wheels and Radial Ta's for the Road Runner. 15 x 8 rear with 275/60 and 15x7 fronts with 235/70.
I have the numbers 383 at the Machine shop but found an great deal on this engine and bought it. It is brand new with boxes of new parts to complete. I think it will find its way in the car being I need something to make up for it not being a stick!!!

Nice score Joe. Is it an old one or late model crate motor
