New Mopar Guy

[hemirambob]

New member here from Pittsburgh. Just starting to warm up to the "pro touring" look and feel. I have a 66 Dodge Coronet that is currently "semi-pro street" (mini-tubbed) that I was thinking about setting up. Attached is a current pic.

Where in Pitt are you? Hit up the local cruise scene at all?

[hemirambob]

I'm in Oakmont. Oh, yea, we're typically everywhere that we can be. Wexford Friday and Irwin Saturday usually.

[hemirambob]

I'm thinkin of going with an old school super stock / pro touring mash up. Flat black fenders and hood, flat light grey from there back, cut down my hood scoop to about 1 inch high or so (my air cleaner will still clear) and wheels and tires I don't know? Maybe one of these:

17's:

18's back & 17's front:

Or this in front in 16" or 17" with an 18" steel wheel (can you get them?) in back?

I'm still thinkin????

I will keep my eyes peeled for you. I try and hit up Wexford every Friday. I don't usually make it out to Irwin though.

[hemirambob]

Cool, we'll be there.
