Vintage Rides

Gotta finish my Little Bros' ride. He's been gone since '90 & I want to do it right. Total driver, IFS, 383 stroker & 4speed auto. AC, hyrdroboost brakes on Wilwood rotors. Met w/Chip Foose to discuss wheels & tires.

Getting a feel for the ride stance. This pic is with 17" Foose wheels. Ended up changing to 20's.
