[QUOTE="Jcpstrat, post: 141572, member: 3034"] Thanks T ... it's been a long project as I pulled it into my garage in October of 2014 ... but I'm starting to get excited. Those tires were actually never used on this Vette. The original frame was so rusted out had to look for a replacement frame. I found a good rolling frame that had those big tires on it (I suspect it may have been a drag car), and the tires on the replacement frame were better than what was on the original frame so I just stuck them on it for rolling around purposes. The new tires shouldn't be a problem (I hope). Here a pic from Oct 2014 as I was dragging it out of where it was parked. If you look close at back wheels you can see they were making skid marks due to tires not turning ... they were locked up solid. Also if you look close the wheel wells have been cut out. I was worried the differential was blown but it turned out the disc brake pads had frozen to the brake rotors. It's been a long haul bringing this tired '67 back! :) [ATTACH=full]20232[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
