67 Tempest - New to Lateral-g

[JT_67Tempest]

Hi my name is Johnny!

I accidentally stumbled on this website while Googling. Glad I did because there are some awesome cars on this website. Hope to meet some people and learn more about Lateral-g. Here are a couple pics of my car, which is a 1967 Pontiac Tempest.

Most of what I've done to it is to swap out the front end and replace with a GTO front end, although I'm not planning to clone my car into a GTO. I just liked the scooped hood and mesh grille styling better than the Tempest.

I also replaced the stock 326 that came with the car and built up a 455 motor for it with Holley 750 DP, Dougs Headers, dual Flowmaster 40's exiting the rear, but right after the headers I did install DMH electric cutouts.

Next on my list is to replace the wheels and tires and that's how I stumbled on this site. Originally I was planning on running 17's all around, but now if possible I may opt for 19/20 combo.

Here are a few pics of my ride.

I agree! That car looks good, man!

Some Rushforth Concept I's would fit that car nicely!

I'm actually going to take a look at the Rushforth's today. And the wheel you showed is on my list of possible choices. The only thing about the Concept I is I'm not sure if I'd like it better with a polished face instead of a brushed look.

And then the size too, not sure if 19/20 or 18/19 combo would look better.

On the cutouts, they are DMH electric cutouts 2 1/2" and seal very well. Actually they seal better the more they are used over time. I've had the cutouts on there for about 8 months now and love them. I have a toggle switch under my dash and I just flip from on to off to open and close the cutouts. I love to hear the sound of open headers and it's great seeing all the looks you get from people when cruising around. Here's some closer pics of them.
