tires make all the difference

I just got a set of 6 new bias-ply tires on my '60 and man does it drive better. Its actually easy to steer! They look pretty retro too (one of the reasons I stuck with bias plys).

The flamed car is my bro-in-law's '50 Chevy sedan. Its kinda a pile right now (drives but needs everything). After I get my street/strip Camaro painted, my next project is going to be a '52 ****** aero coupe.

OK fellas, no beating on the Chevy owner. He does, after all, own a Ford truck so he's OK.
