Beautiful car! I'd like to find a '66 for my old man some day.

CAL 58 GMC · 10-10-2013, 04:44 PM

Thanks guys! I have been working on the wiring and bolting on some shiny stuff.

68 Quad C10 · 10-16-2013, 12:22 AM

Very Nice!!!

CAL 58 GMC · 10-22-2013, 12:14 AM

Billet Specialties front drive pulley set up installed.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-22-2013, 06:29 PM

Oh yeah, super shiny!

CAL 58 GMC · 10-23-2013, 09:14 PM

Can you tell I like shiny stuff Dieselwrencher?

Zoomin · 10-23-2013, 09:52 PM

Very cool!!!

Bennett68C10 · 11-02-2013, 11:05 PM

Beautiful car, the new wheels will look great on it.

CAL 58 GMC · 12-11-2013, 12:51 AM

So I have been working on wiring and finely got my wheels mounted. I end up going with the new American Racing Torque Thrust II smooth lip. Here's a few pictures as the journey continues.

greystoke · 12-11-2013, 09:18 AM

wow, those wheels look perfect on that car. You're my hero man

chevyrestoguy · 12-11-2013, 10:58 AM

Brother, you have got the stance on that car NAILED!! I love the way it sits.

Low Elco · 12-11-2013, 11:15 AM

X2, that's tight as hell. Just looks awesome.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-11-2013, 05:14 PM

This thing is going to be a super head turner for sure! Very nice!

nicke · 12-12-2013, 02:12 PM

Wow, stunning. I love the wheels too!
-Nick

Zoomin · 12-13-2013, 12:24 AM

I love everything you've done. Very nice.

What size wheels did you finally end up with? Earlier you said 18's and 20's...

Do you still have the stock inner fenders on all the corners?

CAL 58 GMC · 12-18-2013, 12:15 AM

Thanks everyone!

Zoomin, I ended up with 18X8's upfront and 20X10's in the rear. I did nothing to the fenders.

I rolled in out Sunday to clean the garage out and took a few more pics.

Zoomin · 12-18-2013, 12:25 AM

One more favor, please - what's the back spacing?

Looks awesome!

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-18-2013, 01:11 AM

That looks so sweet! I'm really leaning towards 18's and 20's on my 40 Ford. I really like how the wheels blend into your car and don't over power the look!

CAL 58 GMC · 12-19-2013, 03:40 AM
