both cars look evil (and correct)

the chevelle just looks wrong, but the challenger looks like it has no motor and will settle down with an install

I remember my Dad having cars with that look. But I agree...Monster Truck look.

I did this thread to make sure newbies to the day2 look are fully informed. I am in that class. I generally thought the skinnies were the true only path folks would go, but when you look around, there were quite a few cars out there with the wider fronts. AND they had their front ends raised.

just getting some reality checks out there for people to consider.

heck, I just bought 15 x 10 and 14 x 7 slots off a 69 camaro (deal I could not pass up, and will take a ton of polishing, but no scratches). They are still on the dead car, I will post a pic when I get it. another case of wide fronts.

to me, the best all around day 2 tire setup to recommend to a newbie would be the L60 15 goodyear polyglass whiteletter in back (a gift from the gods that they even still make them), and E 60 15 in front (like a t/a challenger)

That was a popular look circa 1970. The Chevelle that Henderson brought to MCACN 2011 was another example of the popular look. So popular it even was called out on the Motion invoices!

Those wide, giant front tires are just murder on front ball joints!

Yes, almost as bad as low front ends coupled with giant shackled rear ends with tall wide tires... A white knuckle ride during the &quot;panic stop&quot;... Add drum brakes and a small steering wheel to the mix and you will just give up and go home for the day...
