Your choice of wheels will revolve around so many things....stance, whether you want to do disc brakes (providing you don't have them) , how you want to drive...track vs street, budget, availability of rubber for that rim size and most important..your personal taste

Really looks great, would also like to see a picture of it lit up. Great job.

I think you are over your head with this example you have given ...be honest. As one who has started several "builds'' over the last 30 years, they can soon become overwhelming and a black hole where your time and what little money you have is dumped into them simply because you get overwhelmed...

Yes, but unless you are good with a gouge tip, grind them off is the best way.....with a level take accurate readings of how the spring perches sit on the axle at rest before you cut off. You need to replicate that angle when reinstalling on the 9"... a magnetic level and pictures are a great...

As I recall when I went to Strange for my differential and axles, they cut the axles to fit (length) and you can get whatever bolt circle you want made into them. The bracing is not really needed for your application but it looks unique and beefs it up so you CAN get crazy with HP/TQ later on...

I did that swap into a 55 Chevy, tubbed rear and narrowed axle myself. Know and source your rims as some manufacturers are limited in their offerings of backset and you may have to adjust your width to what you can get. Custom rims after the fact can get very expensive! I also beefed up the...

Would love to hear the play by play on self install of head liner. Want to try it myself ALSO but heard it could be a nightmare too.

Thanks 69 and Purplebeeper, that helps tremendously and I will follow as instructed!....

Any specifics on WHICH solvent? With the cost of these in the aftermarket world, I don't want to destroy something just because of my ignorance. I though about a mild solution of Joy dishwashing detergent and non-abrasive scrubber and then armorall or mequire's after that....The color is what I...

Just pulled mine and it is covered with years of dust over grease and possibly cigarette smoke...pretty nasty. What is the best stuff to clean this old materials with that won't detroy it? Can I submerge the piece...do I have to worry about keeping the foam under the covering dry as I do this...

Sure looks broken to me, I think i can see grain structure from the original casting.

Really sharp looking!

Did it on my 55 Belair as well as shaved handles and hood ornament....really gives it a sleek finished look. Downside is that you don't leave it in the rain with a window cracked!

I face the same problem as Alaska mandates plates front and back. Marrs the lines of the car and thinking about "leaving it off" and taking my chances with the police. Would probably be just an added citation when I get pulled over for speeding or breaking traction anyway, I can't see them...

Found mine tucked under springs is back seat also. Rust stains and age make it a little unreadable but I have it saved anyway. Just a Coronet 440 with a 383 and 727, as sold to me....no surprises. Congrats on your find even though dissapointing.
