The 69 has a new 'attitude"..what do you think?

[Hemidoug]

So how do you like the 69's new attitude? Call me crazy but I'm liking the "old school" look on her. I might just get a set of Torq Thrust D rims for the front and keep her looking like this. What do you guys think?

[69bronzeT5]

I like, I like

[Fitz73Chrgr]

I like it also.  I think you should put a set of Pro-Stars or Drag-lites on the front.  Or maybe some Cragar S/S wheels. 

[69charger2002]

i think the stance and tire size are sweet. even the steelies don't look bad. but just my personal opinion. i have NEVER thought mismatched wheels looked good, and i will probably never understand the nostalgia 60's reasoning for doing it

I like the look/stance, but keep the wheels the same.

Here is one with the street tires for comparison...

[BlaineKaiser450]

i like it a lot more in the 1st pics than the 2nd. Id put some Cragar S/S's on there and it would look killer

[mikesbbody]

with alot of hype going around with oversized wheels, its nice to see the old school look she looks ready for the track 

[rt green]

love the old school look. you should make that permanent

[terrible one]

Hell yeah dude, it's way cool. To me, the nostalgia of the mismatched wheels has to do with the mentality of being a cheap street rodder and throwing whatever fat-ass wheel and tire combo you could get on the back and leave the front the way it is. I personally would put some vintage torq thrust or ET equivalent on there or some Cragars for the front.

That steel wheel/cast wheel mismatch was done in the early drag era for functional reasons.  Many of the cast aluminium (and magnesium) aftermarket wheels of the time weren't really strong enough for hard dragstrip launches on slicks.


I think it looks badass on that car.

All in good time grasshopper!!!!!

When the time is right....still have more wrenching to do. Next up is solid U joints and a billet yoke. No sense of ripping up the drivline now...2 more weeks and I'll have some solid answers

[Hemidoug]

MAN that does suck....and to think I have box seats right over top the start line..... I was hoping you would be there to share the excitment!
