Finally got my new wheels and tires for Stella! What a Difference! Wheel Vintiques 15x7 steelies(the 8's were backordered forever) and Mickey Thompson Sportsman St's, 235/60r15's all the way around. Dog Dishes will be procured @ the Nats on Saturday morning. Here she is @ work today, hopefully everyone here can approve!

BigYella, I am also doing new wheels and tires on my 69 Coronet 4 door. 15x7 cop wheels from Classic Industries and 215x70R15 Cooper tires and I am going with dog dish cop style hubcaps. I am having a buddy virtually replace my suspension before I install the new wheels, tires and hubcap and get the car aligned and steering wheel centered. I am hoping I will have a much better feeling ride when all this is done. The current ride with slotted mags (probably with balance weights gone) and original suspension is terrible and actually scary. I get a really bad vibration at about 75mph and I do not want something coming apart and end up rolling my Coronet into cactus!!! I will share pics in a couple of weeks when all is completed.

Very cool! Can't wait to see and hear about the results!
 
Just some on-the-fly stuff here, better and more in depth pics to come. The plate frame is a custom item from Amazon, $12 plus shipping. Goofy I know but I get compliments on it all the time lol and it's fun, which is what it's all about, right? Named the car that and adopted it as my avatar lol seemed fitting

Some guys at work were enamored with Stella and shared their own photos of her with me, thought I'd pass them along here
