Sometimes I get to feeling that if Xmas, Fathers Day and my Birthday did not exist, then aftershave too would not exist.

I have Weld Prostars on mine. They need a good buff so I'm not going to post a pic. What kind of setup do you have? Stock? Custom? I like wheels with spoke gaps because I want people to see the wilwoods when it's rolling. Just please don't get DUBs. :rant:

I like these (although I don't know who the mfr. is). Also, old school slots always look good on these cars.

I gotta agree!

Or the standbys, Crager SS or Keystones
It's a fine line between a hobby & mental illness!

You can put a '73 or '74 Road Runner hood on a '71 or '72 Road Runner. But you have to have a bodyman rework the front sections of the hood to flatten it out. As the hood on the front corners is raised up to match the fenders of the '73 & '74 Runner. Can't be too hard, as I've seen it done on several cars over the years.

Good to know. I was wondering what it would take to swap one on. I like those hoods.

I am not very imaginative w/ wheels - I have always liked 15 x 7 Magnum 500s, so these were always going to be on my '400-4 72 SSP.

I like these too. I have Keystone Classics on mine (14s though. not sure how wide). They look similar to the magnum 500s.

My car right after I picked it up 10 years ago, late 60's/early 70's torq thrust wheels...I took them off a year later, but I still have them in my garage.
