a little sunshine and a bucket of car wash

Shipped the 57 in for wiring today so pulled the 58 out for a face wash and to sweep out the shop. A real close inspection and I find that the primer scrubs off real easy and the original paint shows through. I'm wondering the best way to cut though it... soda blast?

My mind is all over the place dreaming on this one already.
an Edmonds intake maybe...









dreamin...



I have to quest the net for some inspirational images to wet my whistle.

 

Great pics! Are you BS'n us about your location? Loks more like Mexico

 

Thanks, nope we're right here in Vernon... but check back again come winter, I'll be wishing i was south somewhere.

 

Looking for opinons fella's, how about old skool mags or whites and mags?

 

Hord choise, they both look good on the 58.

But I really like your dogys and trim rings best to be honest. But I'm bias....I always got/get slammed for guning the bling wheels of my truck for doggies, and slammed again for hubcaps on my 83

 

My opinion is the blackwalls, i have never liked whitewalls on any car or truck, but thats my opinon

 

50's cars should have wide whites.

 

My opinion...

Whites look "gangsta',, or ghetto cruzer..

Blackwalls all the way ....

 

I'm leaning towards the black. Whites go good with full wheel covers. Mags=black.

 

Nice car too! Black-walls make it look cool!
Wide-whites go with early 50 & hubcaps...:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

 

Beautiful pictures in this thread!

Personally, I'd run wide whitewalls, with trim rings & baby moons on the original steel wheels (sort like your first pic).

 

Awesome car

When you look at the car with the black rims your eye goes to the car/chrome moulding. With the white walls the tires become the mean focus, the moulding second.

Personally on this car, I think the black walls show off the cars body lines better.

 

I love white wall tires. I also like black wall tires. I think it largely depends on the color, and the style of the car. They each look good in certain situations, and they can each look wrong in others.

With the old skool mags and whire walls with the current "paint job" it kind of has a 60's hot rod flair to it.

If it were my car (and I wish it were...) the way it sits right now I'd go with the mags with the white walls.

 

Lono...you know where i stand on this....

a car without whitewalls...is a naked car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....maybe just chromes and moons...and FAT whites
...or some ol school mags...like original Torques...with pinner whites

either way.....WHITES

 

I like the way the car sits as it is... just polish up the caps and dress the tires! I think it really fits the car, with the blackwalls and correct caps. Although, if you went with a satin black paint, wide whites with red painted rims and the baby moons would look pretty good.

PS. Where is that old Esso station in Vernon? I'd love to bring a car up there and take a few pics in front!
