That thing looks like a blast. I like the wheels.

DUDE, it's in AUSTIN?!!

I like the Chrysler dog dish hub caps.

Car looks cool too.

In reply to SyntheticBlinkerFluid:

Cop car dog dish hub caps, too. Holes, you know.

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.

Huh? Why do you run those tires and wheels on your '54?

They may be for rolling the car around the shop.

Ever notice how most of these chops NEVER have glass in them? That panoramic windshield is gonna be a mother to cut.

That's why God invented Lexan.

Needs bigger brakes

That tops the list of "Cars I Would Drive the E36 M3 Out Of."

Reminds me of Two Lane Blacktop.

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.

only $90k invested...

I meant its sorta a 55 chevy. Its for sure all cool

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.
