I have been measuring and I think I will be going with Hoosier 29.0/12.0-15 on a 12" rim they have a 13.7 sectional width and I have room for 14.0 sectional.

Hey Rusty, the car looks outstanding. If you get a chance, could you email me your contact info? My email is captcj at hughes dot net. I have a couple of things I would like to talk to you about. Thanks.

It seems like I never have any time to work on my Fairlane but I decided to spend a little time this weekend on it instead of customer cars. I started taking this apart over 6 years ago and now its not that easy finding all the parts. I finally found the brackets for the headlights and the hood latch. After I sandblasted them I sprayed a couple of coats of SPI black epoxy.
