Since I'm waiting for the wheels I decided to do some other stuff. One thing I did is to paint the front of the brake drums. I figure this what some people did in the 70s and it looks better than rust and black on it now lol. Looks good with the current setup but, I think it will look good with the new wheels too.

**Note: Please pardon the mess of the slot wheels.**

I have been polishing them out and they looked great but, I have been working on making them look better before I decided to go to 15s.

That is all I'm going to post for now. As you can see the suspension needs to be painted/detailed amongst my list for the car.

Thank you all so far. The wheels are ET IV 14x9s in the back and the fronts are 14x6 Cragars. They are unilug wheels and as much as I like the look I am changing my wheel but, staying vintage look so no worries there. Plus, I am going to 15s.

Added the new wheels and tires today. I like how it drives so far. The wheels are Cragar Eliminator 500 Series wheels. 15x7 with 4.00 bs up front with 235/60/15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman Radials and 15x8 wheels with 4.5 bs out back with 275/60/15s. I also painted my brake drums "Hemi Orange" but, I did a halfway job on painting them just in case they need to be replaced for some odd reason since the age of the brakes is unknown. Just a small update.
