Wide sneakers...

I picked up a couple of 15" x 8 1/2" ET IV wheels for cheap money that match my 15"x7.5" set. They had the antique F60 tires on them. They held air so I figured I throw them on to see what they looked like. I'm not going to run them every day, but I thought they really nailed the day two 70s look and they'll be good for the 1/4 mile I'd imagine with some decent tires/slicks. If I hit a good bump though, it'd be a mess. 3 3/4" bs.

What is the plan / back story with your Camaro Dave?

[HawkX66]

I've basically been doing a nut and bolt resto over the last eight years. Life... We've had it since '82. If you care to take a look, I have a build thread going over on Camaros.net. Here's the link:

When I'm &quot;done&quot;, it should be a solid day 2 build. Everything will be stock as it came off the line in Aug 69 except the intake/carb, headers/exhaust and wheels. I have the born with motor, but I'm bagging and storing it so I don't have to worry about playing and breaking something. I'm at the tail end now and will hopefully be starting it within a month. That's my goal anyhow. More than likely it will stay in primer until next spring or maybe this fall.
Here's what she'll look like completed. This was taken 1983/84:
