Is that salt I see on it? Get it off get it off!! :lol: The car looks really ncie though, That vinyl top is a pretty nice contrast to the red. How's the condition of the top?

[hav24wheel]

its alittle bit of everything that they put on the roads up here. from coal dust to some sort of clacium cloride(sp) (i think) but i don't think its alot of salt, but its still not easy on the body.. ya i should wash it.. the top is starting to crack, so i was thinkin about takin it off...

Nice car!!!!! What size tires do ya got in the rear; they look like slicks? That car has a nice aggressive look to it; like it's ready for the Saturday night boulevard drags.

i work at a tire and muffler wholesale place.. so i got the exhaust pipe and mufflers cheap. i bought prebent tailpipes(under $13 each) and i have a friend that has a exhaust bender so i used it to bend the pipes from the cats to the mufflers. the wheels are cheap and i had the tires layin around..

the rear tires are LT31/11.50R15s on a 8 inch wide wheel. they are far from slicks. they are a 6 ply AT style tire.. the fronts are 235/75R15s. i lowered the front, i don't know how much, but its almost sitting on the bump stops in the front. i'm lookin at getting some 3.73s for the rear axle so i can get some better fuel mileage out of it.

3.73's wouldn't be a bad idea at all with 31's out back!

Free rides always rock. I had to pay $1 for my wagon.

Nice LTD especially for what you paid!

You should post some pics of your other vehicles too. I'm sure some of the guys/gals would like to see them. I like your 74 4x4 van that you posted on FSB.

Now I get the screen name, I thought it meant you had 24" wheels. I approve of 4x4 references much more than 24" wheels

Yea I hang around on a few different boards.

I'm building it in my driveway so the 54 build is on hold until spring. I'm just going to try and collect some parts for it over the winter.
