I meant to get a look at the rear wheels and forgot. The rest of the car was outstanding, so clean and well built!
Do you know if it's still using 1/2" studs/conical lugs in the rear with the Torq Thrusts? I just had a set polished Torque Thrusts done for my G Body. I had them done for shank lug nuts. Didn't like the idea of conical with sticky tires. Now I have to get the Cuda done.

If you want Torque Thust I would start with the biggest bolt pattern you can. 4 1/2 requires the lug nuts and spacers to be machined to reduce the diameter. Simply not enough clearance at 4 1/2" .
Though it can be doen as seen here. My American 200S were done the same way. 4 3/4 would help. 5" would be the best route. Headers were built by Ernie Miyomoto at Motofab. He does nice work. If this thing weighs anywhere close to mine it should be a runner. Best Machine dyno slip says 965. We'll see.
Doug Thanks Doug, I would love to see your car in person one of these days! And I can't wait to see this '64 run, it should be a screamer. I do know my current 1/2" tapered lug nuts are very tight with the 5 x 4.5 pattern, the impact socket touches the center of the wheel when I'm removing them. Found some aluminum lug nuts that are smaller and would likely work at 5/8" but I don't know if I trust those on the street.

So I gotta ask does that car have a third pedal or is that one of those Kilduff machine shifters. Looks like the latter to me...

I doubt there is 3 pedals in there with multiple levers as they don't allow planetary transmissions (Lenco) in NSS. They didn't even want me to run a Nash 5-speed back in the mid 90's even though it was a modified unit with only 4 gears. Gus
