Things that I want to keep.
So, stripping down to metal and smoothing out every ding and ripple just doesn't seem right."

"I like the idea of sanding down in kind of a faux-weathered look to expose portions of these layers. This allows me to see these layers of time and memories, but also allows me to not have to be worried about future dings and dents."

"The wheels and tires are the same size all around.
The over-all width of the tires is 12"

As I often times say, it's your ride, build it your way and for you...
I get asked "WHY" about my choice of a power plant for my truck all the time... but it's what I want, so Pontiac motivation it is.. ...
You can't beat a driver that you don't need to worry about when you are parked at the store..
Nuff said...
As for tires, I was thinking of going with a 10" wide tire, section width that is for the front, but wasn't sure it would fit...
If your tires are 12" then there is a god chance 10" will fit on mine...
Keep posting progress ..
I'm still searching for the right wheels for my 63..
