This is a rendering of what the car will look like complete. The only difference is the wheels. Which do you like?

I like the 500's.....Nice rendering!!

The car has a real stock feel to it the 500's in a aluminum plus size look great on it & allow a much better choice in tire performance. I see 18x8.5 with 245-35-18's front & 18x9.5 with 285-30-18's rear.:thumbsup:

id throw a set of 18 inch apex-g(grey center) wheels on it from billet specialties.. my twist on it........throw some REDLINE TIRES on it that will make it pop.

Something like this?

This was an earlier draft version of the rendering. It doesn't use redlines, but pretty close to what you described.

ok, i know its my opinion.....but not a bunch of cars running those wheels and the grey centers give it that earlish muscle car wheel feel with a new style flair(instead of torq thrust).....I LOVE THAT LOOK...i was thinking the redline tires with red calipers showing would really make it pop....maybe even a red insert in a custom gtx emblem that mounts in the factory holes...just little touches.i have a thing for the old redlines on muscle cars if you dont like redlines thats cool .im always thinking what does everybody else not do that i like.what color is the interior gonna be ?
im so glad carter already had it rendered with those wheels.hes the best to work with.
if you are not big on my opinion ..then go with the magnums.it does look strong.
good luck picking ....its hard to do..i know...but fun

Tom,

I have thought about redlines or bluelines. This car originally came with blueline tires in '66. I have seen redlines added to modern tires and it does look good.

I know what you are saying on the GTX emblems and little touches. I don't want to label it with the GTX tag though. It is using a '67 GTX hood, but that is the only GTX piece on the car. The rest of it is original and I am starting with a real Hemi car.

The interior will be fairly stock looking with a combination of light and dark blue. I haven't decided on using the original bench or going with 1966 buckets and console.

ok ,im starting to see where your going
so you have and original hemi car ...WOW..cool.
so its a belvedere.....original black with two tone blue interior...and your giving it a modern twist with a little updated wheel and brake combo how about doing black calipers with whatever brand lettering in interior matching light blue paint to match with blueline tires........not something you will see at every car show..but it all goes together

can you show us some pics or tell us more about the car ..not everyday you see a guy on here with an original hemi car putting a modern twist to it...

Ghostdancer sweet ride , reminds me of the cars I used to see when I was a kid. I like the 500's But you can't loose either way.

[GHOSTDANCER]

:question: I was agreeing with RSNAKE. Yes it is a killer car with whichever wheels :thumbsup: :cheers:

Tom,

I just created a web site for this car. northernbel.com

Please check it out and let me know what you think. The site includes a summary of my project plan, pictures of the car as purchased, its current state, and the donor car. It also shows the documentation that I have for the car and all of the Carter Hickman rendering iterations.

Agree,

I'd keep every original part you have.......how many factory hemi Belvedere's were built?

----Nevermind....just read the bio of the car on Hub
