Oh, and I noticed you installed a new window and door in your garage and organized the wall too. We could use someone like you around here.

Badger Guy Member Registered: 07/31/03 Posts: 287 Loc: Wisconsin	Actually I built a whole new shop! The old shop, where this project started, is still there. But it's used for storage now. Thanks for the compliments. The 455 in it runs out fine. Tom _________________________ Never take life to seriously. Nobody gets out of it alive anyway.

Badger Guy Member Registered: 07/31/03 Posts: 287 Loc: Wisconsin	I was thinking about going with red line tires and the the "Dog Dish" hubcaps this year. Just to give it a different look. What do you people think? _________________________ Never take life to seriously. Nobody gets out of it alive anyway.

prof pat Member Registered: 10/22/07 Posts: 86	The car came out great, I like the understated look, with the just slightly wider wheels, the 8 inchers that came on the factory order fire and police cars. If you can't find um these guys can make them for you Rallyamerica.com Pat

Badger Guy Member Registered: 07/31/03 Posts: 287 Loc: Wisconsin	Thanks Pat! I've received a lot of compliments on the lack of chrome look. The car is a F/85 plain jane car. And thats the way I restored it. When I got it it had a 6cyl, no radio and the 2spd Jetaway. It now has a 455 with a 400 behind it and 12 bolt posi. I had it at the Olds Nationals in Bowling green. Got 14.6 MPG on the 1700 mile round trip. I didn't think that was too bad! I do have wider tires on the rear since this pic was taken. I think the redline tires with the dog dis caps will look good. Here's a pic of the interior. (It's two shades of gray. Not white like it looks in the pic) Tom Attachments _________________________ Never take life to seriously. Nobody gets out of it alive anyway.
