Terry,

The wheels just don't do it for that car and that is a great car. But that is my opinion and you should do what you want.

I agree. But the more I look at it, the wheels aren't really THAT small.

Losing the rear bumper is a great weight saving idea.

Oh yeah...the wheels.

put the old wheels back on it. I tlooks like one of those low rider toys you buy at the counter in a gas station.

Other than that, beautiful..

Terry, it specifically says to not block that door.

Sure a lot of doors on that car . . .

Hey! are those some old Lakewood slapper bars on the rear end?

Whatever that is on the front driver's door, I don't think it's period correct. Wheels aren't working for me.

I'll be the dissenting opinion. It's original and if you install the rear bumper, clean up the chrome and lower it a touch it would be different.

However, I'd be tempted to put widened steel factory wheels and the dog dish caps on M/T Sportsmans...

That look at the moment is ok but it will date quickly..

Its my door

Bumper is getting rechromed. The circle is a little bit of wetsanding I was doing.

I'm really happy with it and its a big hit with other classic mopar owners. Making a 4 door old school hot rod just doesn't feel right so I went with the current resto/ cruizer mod craze. Something to take on the Hot Rod Power Tour

Looks good, but those wheels will expire before the tags do.
