That looks cool seeing it out in the driveway. Is it running now?
I agree, the looks probably are going to start to change fast. I hope they don't change too much. I think it would look great just cleaned up and maybe some OE type styled steel wheels or similar instead of the hubcaps.

I have a 53 ****** jeep and became very familiar with POR15, the trunk will probably receive some of as well as some of the under body. Very quality stuff!
The pictures are something I either wasn't able or haven't done on previous projects and I have kicked myself for it. It's not running yet, drive train is coming out either today or Tuesday. Only took about 5 people to load it on the trailer
Looks won't be crazy, just wheels and maybe a slight drop are all that I have in mind. I would really love some torq thrusts as cliche as they are. The polished 5 spoke on a red vert would look fantastic I think. Paint will come over the winter, and it will ne the same color.

The car will be the same "Candy Apple Red" which is why I think a polished wheel will look good on it.

I love the Magnum 500's. The torque thrust, keystone klassic, and cragar ss are all great choices too.
Good question LCC, I was assuming it was going to be painted red, but I guess he could be going with a different color.

Your "style" will guide you to the rim choice. And we'll slap you if it's the wrong one...

Good color. There are a couple beautiful candy apple red cars on here that you can compare rim choices. I agree with you, that color likes shiny rims. But if you black out the trim then flat color rims will work, HUMMM..

Thanks guys! I've seen a lot of the "classic" wheel choices and considering that I'm not doing any real body mods, I would like to find something a little bit different. Decisions decisions... I have about 2 weeks before I need to get something on order.
