Re: Tangerine Progress
Looks great! Are those wheels the Eagle 222's? What size wheels and tires are you running?

Re: Tangerine Progress
Yank, Stop it! You are going to make us jealous! I am regreting selling my 69 (which Bill now owns). Trust me, I know how happy you are to be seeing your efforts come together.
I keep thinking that your radiator fan shroud looks familiar for some reason! Seems like I have seen that one somewhere before! lol Enjoy it! Dean

Re: Tangerine Progress
Looks good yank. That shroud looks a heck of a lot better there than it did in the truck he took it out of.

Re: Tangerine Progress
I guess in MS you don't ever have to use a heater. It was cold here today in OK. Nice clean look

Re: Tangerine Progress
The truck looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better in person. Lot's of great work. Enjoyed the heck out of talking truck with you Mike. I got to admit, though it was getting cold there after 2 hours in it. I guess I'm getting old or after 20 years here losing my Yankee status.

Re: Tangerine Progress
Dean I like the looks of the of the 18's. They work for me, I'm not a big fan of BLING,BLING. As for the handling, it made a trip to to the end of the driveway and it handled like F1 racecar
![]() Davidh I've got "Budnick Grid 6 rims" with 255-45-18's on the front and 295-40-18's out back with a 4/6" drop from ECE.
