For some reason the 69's look better with the pinstripes IMO.
Beautiful car though!

I think it looks great after the removal of the pinstripes, makes it look, imho, less like a 6 cyl car that you might see a grandma driving. Really looks a nice improvement with the updated tires too.

Looks much better w/o the pinstripes and whitewalls!
1/2 coil is good for ~1". Looks like it would just tuck the top of the tire and give a slight rake. Do it.Nick R.

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?
