Thanks guys for all the rightouse comments bout my hot rod Ive been workin hard on the right wheel and tire combo , Ya know the wheels can make or break a kool ride so after days of hunting thru parts boxes this is what i come up with New 49 merc chromed reverse with 48 ford stock caps, rear tires are the fronts of the old black widow truck and the front tires are from a diecast rub on dry transfers from Shaboo ,, Not everyone back in the 40's and early 50's could aford whitewalls so im usin firestones indy type tires for somthin differant As for the flathead moter its out of a new 40 ford kit with four strombergs out of a rare Aroura 34 ford kit I still have lots of detail work to do Damb and this was gonna be a quick build I just cant do anything simple lol Hope you all like what I got so far Bud Ellis Kustoms

... Ya know the wheels can make or break a kool ride ... You nailed it with these, brother! Looks PERFECT for this ride. Love the altitude, AND the attitude that this is developing! Mill looks SPOT ON for this style. Definately gonna be a righteous ride! Two thumbs (and big toes, and whatever else might be up! ) up on this! Looking great! ;D ;D
