The Cragar's are going out tomorrow to be mounted with a set of vintage Firestone 500 slicks that I got from Tony a while back. The front runners will get another set of Firestone pie crusts to be used for shows that are close to home. These should give the car that vintage Day II vibe that I'm looking for. For times that require highway miles, I'll bolt these 15" SS repro wheels on the car to give it better handling. Had these mounted up today with a set of the Wide Oval FR70/15 radials and have to admit, I love the look of these. I'll mount them up when all the other work is finished up over the next month or so.

Love the Cragars!

I'm really diggin the Drag 500's mounted up. Now the work begins as I set course on restoring the brakes, wiper, wiring and heater box before dropping in the new drive line. Might repaint the front hood to match the ghosted lines and repair the fenders while they are off. Anyone have a good source for lacquer paint?

Way cool! Can't wait to see them mounted on the car.

Those drag 500's are badass! I run those back in the day and would love to find another set.

Graeme, you can NEVER have too many wheel and tire combos!! Love it... Looking good...

cant wait to see the cragars on the car!

Drag 500s look awesome!

Pulled the seats and carpet out of the Nova today to get an idea of the work I'll need to do in order to mount the Lakewood roll bar into the Nova. It sits nice in there but I'll need to rework the floor plates before painting the car and getting it fixed into the car.
