Looks good. I wonder how it would look with some polished 10 holes or drag style wheels? That car looks perfect, now get the motor in there so there isn't 6" of wheel gap.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I like it. I used to have white letters on 8 hole wheels on my T-bird.


Now with the Snowflakes I run black walls.


My almost 23 year old factory paint is not as nice as the paint on your Cougar. Sorry if it's not shiny enough;)

Hows this.... no wire wheels...................






These are actually the front tires... The rear tires are on back order till August. These are the 235s. I had to see what it would look like on one side at least. ;)
The rears are ordered.... I'm going with 255s , ,and also decided to go with the white letters. I'm trying to give the entire car that "Muscle Car" look. I think the white letters go pretty good with the entire look of the car... What do you guys think?  If I get bored with them, I can always flip them around to black walls...:D

On a bird, I like the turbines, 10 holes and snowflakes. On a Cougar, I like the turbines and 10 holes. However, I am thinking on Jerry's car, I would like snowflakes too!
