    That's about what size I figured I'd need now. I've got a set of 195/60/15's that I set up beside the car just to get a idea, boy they were too small. BFG is my favorite brand, too. When it gets roadworthy, That's what I want.

    Oh, Mike, your paint looks 100% better than mine, it's the factory color but has been partially resprayed sometime in the past. It'll have to do for a while, bodywork and paint will be the last thing to do. I want to get some enjoyment out of actually driving it for a while before it becomes a permanent yard ornament !:rofl2:

    Keep it up... hope you can get it together in time for the meet in the spring. We gotta get pictures of it and the '72 side by side to send to Mr. Clint. :) I know he would be tickled to see them both on the road. Hell, the '72 has needed a paint job since before I got it. I don't really care, it's not a show car and I don't claim it to be.

    Got all that stuff done yesterday. Today I mounted and plumbed the fuel pump and got the brakes bled. Ordered my bottom rad hose today, will be in this week. Oh, and I drained 4.5 gallons of stale gas from the tank. If the weather is warm enough next weekend, I'm hoping to see if there is any life in the beast! :dance:
