Default finally centerline champ 506's are on and the car is rolling

after having fitment issues of my own creation, my car is finally rolling....man do those 275's up front ever make the front end feel more planted and responsive. and how else can you describe 335 rears other than BIG. I'm a former pro street guy and can say that I am very happy with the way the car turned out. I gave Bill Howell a little flack early on about the pro-touring vs pro street deal. but I have com to appreciate the pro-touring style. Bill is a pretty smart guy afterall.

Back in the late 80's, my high school years, we used to call those "5 hole Centerline's." We didn't know anything about a "506" as nobody we knew could afford them to be able to tell us a specific name. I love those wheels. Now that is some old school flavor on a 69.

I love it! I miss seeing some of the style from when I was in high school, granted not all of it was good, but that looks sweet!
