Cool car but why do all that work to run those wheels and tires?

There's no 'sorta' about it. That is way cool. Even better that it's a fiberglass body, not a cut up original.

They may be for rolling the car around the shop.

I don't advertise my '54 being able to pull a G in the corners. Don't get me wrong. I dig the poverty caps on steelies look but I'd think with all that suspension and brake work you'd want tires that are up to the task.

Those are just street wheels and tires from what it says at the main site. Presumably he has better stuff when he wants to play.

Looks like the chassis would be a very flexy flyer and not legal for any forms of motorsports I can think of requiring safety gear. Cool,but I can go way faster for way less.
