Re: Sweet '68 Shortwide
in that case I think the 255's will look good.

Re: Sweet '68 Shortwide
I was going to suggest Indy 500's, but just was wondering what you had in mind. I ran these on the Cobra and while everyone was bitching about traction I had no problem with my car. It hooked up and went. And I think there a good looking tire. They'll be going on my 68 when I get to that point.

Re: Sweet '68 Shortwide
well so far I have pulled the power steering column out of the parts truck. Today I got the brake master cylinder out and I'm getting close to pulling the power steering pump out of the beast.
