Did you decide on wheels yet? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

I still think this is such a cool story. Too bad you aren't back in PA so you could crank up 'DVE and cruise the park! LOL [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Pretty sure Cragars with either N50's or 325/50 R15's on 15x10's in the rear and possibly 14 or 15x7's on the front with a skinnier tire up front. I think I have a line on some older ones from a guy in my car club who's had them a while but not sure yet.

I was in PA last week visiting for a week buy my car was in FL. Hoping to bring it up to PA next summer, definitely.

Wonder if the original builder is still around? I'm sure he'd love to see it.

The original owner was named Norm LeBlanc (Tom M. aka Day 2 Z on here knew him) and he passed away a while ago, however, the guy who helped him build and paint it, Steve Dobos actually saw a post about the car and we got in touch. He was the one who sent me the BITD pics earlier in the thread. I've emailed him more recently but he hasn't responded so I hope he's doing OK just busy or something as he's a great guy.

Super good-guy White Top aka David, sent me this picture he had of my car from back when it was being shown in the early 80's, thanks Dave. I never knew it had a roll bar in it.

What a cool car and perfect example of the period!

Amazing the paint treatment went all the way around & under!

An acquaintance posted this pic of my car from a show back in the day. I shared it with the guy who painted it and he said it was a from a World of Wheels show in Montreal, and they won Best Paint, Peoples Choice and The PPG Paints awards, which I thought was pretty cool.

Just great getting more history on your car. Love it. Subdued is not the 1st word to come to mind when I see that paint!! ;>))

The paint is killer. Can't imagine the hours in laying out all those stripes. Awesome that you found it and had the opportunity to buy it. Good luck!!
