Another new project
 

It's a one owner 1967 Ford Custom 500, 289, stick shift, radio delete, 9" Posi. Came from New Mexico.
Should we put 17" vintiques steelies with the dog dish hubcaps, or gray spoke 17" Bullet wheels with the deep lip?
Thanks
Jeff

depends on the budget- low buck shop beater- steelies.:thumbsup:

anything else- fat lips would work- but the huge wheel openings beg for at least 19".
17' would probably be lost in there-chris

It's gonna get a complete resto, not much is available as far as parts go.
Stock two tone aqua interior, most will be cleaned and re-used. Only windshield glass is available, so that'll get re-used as well. Probably a dark jade blue/geen exterior. The wheel wells are not that big on this, it's got 14" on it now. Room for 12" of tire in the back.
They don't make drag radials in 19's.
Thanks

Cool ride Jeff! I think either wheel would look great. What's going in it for motor, tranny, rear?

That should be pretty cool. Keep us posted. :thumbsup:

It's got a 9" posi in it stock and a stick shift.
I was leaning towards a sleeper look with widened steelies but with,
twin turbos, efi on the 289, with a main and valley girdle of course and TKO 600 or Viper 6 speed. I'm gonna leave the radio delete, manual steering brakes (but with discs).
Did anyone see that beige Torino at the CC Nats with the 17" steelies? It was in CC a couple issues back.

That will be sweet!

One vote for black steelies and dog dishes, sleepurrr all the way!:cool:
Nice catch Jeff

Billet Solid or Gennie
 

How about the Wheel Vintiques Billet solid or gennie wheel. I'm not sure what the weight difference would be between the steel 17" and the aluminum 18". You can get them up to 18x9.5" and if you powdercoated the whole wheel they would look like a stock style steel wheel. Most of the caps that they make for them look a little too old for a '67 model, but the ones below might work.

I wanted to use these on my '52 Chevy pickup, but they don't make any Chevy caps that will fit these wheels :(

I was thinking about the Vintiques series 64, OEM Ford GM they say. I've got the stock dog dish hub caps and bought 3 more on ebay.
I'm gonna do the wheels body color. I'd like to do 17x10 rear and 17x9 front.
The rendering should be done soon
