  Should I go with the hoopster or the torque thrust? A lot of cars have the torque thrusts, I would like to stand out but I dont want it to look like crap. Any opinions? This is for my 67 Lemans. Thanks. For those of you who dont know, the torque thurst in on top and the hoopster is on the bottom.

I'd go with the thrusters..More classical look. I think the more modern you make a GTO the more it loses it's appeal. I used 15x7 Cragar SS Alloys all the way around my 67. I get many compliments. I 'll try to post a picture.

Well, here you go. I finally installed the grilles (pain in the ass) and put a red pinstrip on it and painted the scoop insert. I went ahead and put tires on it cause it was cheap now I need to replace the right rear axle bearing.

Looks good. I like the way the wheels really compliment the color of your car. Nice.

You have chosen well...I think the curves of the spokes complement the curves of the '66-'67
bodies and trim perfectly. I would have ditched my cragars and bought a set of torque thrust 2's or chromed D's years ago if I weren't so poor.

lol I know hitman
 We just got done with it about 2-3 months ago...we used this kit called U COAT IT or something...my dad knows alot about it all I know is that It was very expensive about 700 dollars for our 3 car garage...prep is a bear...diamond grinders, chemical stripping, anything u can think of we did for a month to get the surface ready for paint..the epoxy needs a good place to settle in...but it was worth it..stuffs amazing nothing seeps in, no stains nothing..everything wipes up and you have a nice shiny finish check out some detailed pics at http://69.163.210.247:7778/FarkasHom...ect/index.html

I like the wheels, but I think it would look better with white letter tires. (IMO)
Bigblue... NICE GARAGE!!! (My kitchen floor isn't that clean) Damn!!!!

I have another question to add to this topic... I have 14" Rally II's and I like the Rally II look... but I would like to put a more "aggressive" type of tire on the rear of my car. Has anyone ever had 14" rims on the front and then 15" rims on the rear?? Would that cause any problems?? Would it look stupid?? I like that agressive raised look. Just looking for some insight to this.
Thanks!!!

BigBlue-
Is that a '66 Post Coupe? I just bought one this past November and have been steadily working on it. Yours looks great! I was looking at the Cragar SS for mine as well but got some feedback that those rims are hard to keep balanced. Have you had any issues with them?

Save the WL tires for the cars they came on orignally and pick up trucks! Leave the blackwalls or maybe redlines!

BigBlu66-
Mine is a GTO Post Coupe. Since I bought in November, I've done the floor pans, trunk pans, supports, entire rear suspension, brakes(still drums), brakes lines, fuel lines, body mounts and new tires on Rally II's. Still on deck are a new carb and intake as well as a complete front end rebuild. I've had it for four months and am still waiting to drive it! Good luck with your restoration...you need any help with things I've done so far, please ask. JB

Man sounds like your a busy man...I'm doing the project with my dad so we work on the weekands cause he works all day and I've got school but I work on it myself during the week sometimes...mostly engine work because I'm comfortable with that...as for the disc brakes I wait for my dads help because I dont want to screw it up...and we get it done..slowly but surely I'd rather do it twice and have it done right...ONE QUESTION I'm looking into redoing my rear suspension myself after the pans...probably just replacing rear control arms, springs, and shocks...where did you get all your parts from? any sites or references? and also where did u order your floor pans from?? thanks j
