    Don't hold me to it but I believe the rear tires on the red car are 255/60R15's on either 7 or 8" Centerlines. I think the fronts are 195 15's. I gave this car to one of my sons and he no longer lives in this house so I can't double check it right now. My blue car has 275/60R15's on the rear and skinnies on the front. The rears pretty much fill up the wheel wells.

    Those are the exact sizes that I have been debating on getting. I was thinking that the 275's would rub. But I want to go with the tallest tire I can because the 3.80 gears I installed are a problem on the open highway...figured I can get back a few rpms with 275's. I am currently running 235 60 14's on the back! Too short IMO.thanks

    I've got a call in to my fiberglas guy to see when he can make some and to get a price. He's already got the mold made. I'll let you know as soon as I get an answer back.

    I don't see why not as long as it's the small bumper ones.

    Dream Cruise

    You Guys Should Attend The Downriver Cruise Also. It Has Lots Of Room To Cruise And Ford Usually Has A Decent Setup At Southgate Ford. Hopefully My Car Will Be Done By Then

    The caps and rings that were on the car there are the stock stuff that was on it when I bought it. Stockton Wheel service in Stockton, CA (www.stocktonwheel.com )may be able to get the trim rings and the caps are a junk yard thing or swap meet or post a "I Want These" note on this message board. You'd be surprised how much these guys and gals can help you out finding stuff like that.

    That is correct, they are called front and rear valances.
