1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"

-
Well I knocked the 245s off the wheels, blasted and painted them. I'll get some pics in a bit when it warms up. Kitty insisted I also go ahead and get 2 new 245s comin, so I got a pair of them Gripmax tires comin. I picked out two of the cleanest lookin 14 x 5.5" wheels for the front and I'm gonna clean and paint them, then I'll get the front tires comin. That probably won't be till the first week in December. Probably. lol
 
So, here's how the wheels turned out.

Got um mounted up. Looks like the front ones will be here Tuesday. I got somethin goin on and I don't know what, but I'm weak as water. Took all I could do and then some to get these done. I reckon maybe I'm still sick from weeks ago I don't know.

Same tread pattern as the BF Goodrich tires. Hope you feel better.
I thought it was an exact copy, but it's not. It's REAL close though. If I feel better tomorrow, I'll take a closeup side by side as I have the Goodrich tires I took off still here. Thanks for the kind wishes.
 
Looks Tuff! I'm seeing some kind of fabricated metal rear trunk spoiler and a fresh coat of white paint!

I'll gladly go along with white paint. That's the original color. The spoiler though ain't my thAng. I thought about a front spoiler, though.
 

Yeah that leanin tower of power is just too much. lol
if on wet or especially after a dry season and get the first rain (oil slick) it will help a bunch, more side wall and tread is a good thing under these liter cars. Looks great, and very happy Rob
