I had cheater slicks on one time and got into a little rain shower. You would swear that someone had greased the tires. Instant hydroplaning and at very low speed at that. Never tried it again.

[/ QUOTE ]

55, rust free, black for now, Jim Meyers Racing front sub frame with straight axel and willwood brakes. 427, M22, 4:56, old diamond pleated interior that needs work, ET gasser 10 spokes on the front. I have some pictures, but don't know how to put them on a computer.
Thanks for the responses. I could always carry a set of different tires and wheels in the car for rain. Plenty of room back there!

I got to visit with Tony over the Christmas holidays... that Nomad radiates coolness! It's a neat car as it sits, and a great foundation for his plans.

Of course, I drooled over his Nova for a while too....
