Good to know. I need to do something similar with my Chevelle.
Cheers.

You are doing great work...fun stuff to follow along. I notice you chose the Uniroyal Tiger Paws...Touring A/S. I just bought a set for one of the Novas....did a wheel resto to go with them. Will post the Tiger Paw story soon to share with the crew.

Based on my homework they should perform well [Uniroyal is part of Michelin].

The Eric restored 4492 is the bomb....he is the best there is.

Isn't amazing how ONE part upgrade turns into this huge snowball of "sequences" ??? It looks great now and I really like the as cast AR wheels...

3 years ago, I was doing a front suspension/brake upgrade on my '67 Camaro. Geez, the sub frame could use paint while I'm in here. The only way to get the whole thing painted is to remove the inner wheel houses. Yeah, right, a couple days later all I had left was a bare firewall...

Nice choice! I just ordered a set of American Racing wheels from 4wheelonline last week.

Thank you. I was able to get these from my local speed shop guy, surprised how reasonably priced they were.

Very excited to see this one done! My guess is that it will be too nice to use... but keep it on the street!

Congrats Jake
