    I don't know if I like the color of this car or not, I guess it's hard to tell since it's mostly orignial and faded, but with the green (ivy) interior I guess I don't have too much of a choice. I'm looking for ideas, maybe once it's freshened up it'll look better? should I get rid of the white? maybe change the white to black? or light green?? The wheels are going for sure, and 'm going to lower it a little.

    Sorry ST, but KEEP THE CRAGARS. Those are the hottest rims out there for our cars...and I don't just say that because that is what I have on mine.

    I think the green but re-shot, then replace the white with black...that might look cool.

    Gotta disagree, I think Torque Thrust II's are the best for our cars. I'd take a nice set of Magnum 500's over Cragars any day.

    As for the car, I'd go with a darker green and white.

    I'd keep the oringal color - just repaint it. I like that color and scheme.

    As far as the Cragars go, I'd keep those too. However, if you insist on changing out, I'd be interested in buying them from you if you want to PM me.

    I'm not much on green myself, but a bright lime with gold metalic on the bottom would look, or black on the bottom......

    I really like the Torque Thrusts, but they just look too NEW on our old cars. Not "bad", in fact they look really good on them. But I kinda like the classic look of the Cragar S/S on our cars, a little more period correct. I just wish they made the rims better...

    Actually, the Torque Thrust came out before the Cragar SS....in the early 60's...
