Ok Ken, lets see you beat your own Biscayne record of 9 months and 34 pages. Better sign off and get started........

Oh Paulette, someone mentioned shoe shopping. Now might be a good time.............

Had some new tires put on today.....went from the F70's that were on the car when I got it to 225-75 Coker Red Line Radials......the F70's were just too small in my opinion, I didn't really want to go with the Coker's ....But they were about the only ones that had the size that I was looking for......The Ride and Handleing with the Radials is the finishing touch to the car.......Bias Ply's are great for the look.......But......Not for driving......Also the larger Tire diameter (27.4 vs 26.2) helps knock down the rpm's while driving
Here are pic's with the F 70's and then with the larger Radials..........






Radial's

That looks a LOT better Ken. Gotta' fill-out the wheel wells or it just doesn't look quite right. Now it looks right.

They do fill the wheelwells better. Other than that, virtually no change.
