    My '58 is on the road, very nice to drive it this week

    For any of you that have been following it, I got it all together Sat morning and driving.

    I ended up running 245x45x17 up front and 275x50x17 in the rear of the car. The width in the rear did require us to roll a very small section of the skirts to clear the tires. We also are making the panrod bar adjustable since the rear end is off center about .25" toward the passenger side.

    The disc brakes bite really good and slow the car down awfully quick. We haven't adjusted the prop valve yet.

    Drove it around town on erands all Sat and then down to Red Bluff Sunday where the guy that made the disc break kit is going to take photos, etc. of the car I guess. All told prob put about 100 miles on the car.

      What a difference those brakes make, huh ? Takes it from scary to fun. Your car looks nice. I like those wheels! Sits nice too,
