Wanted a wider wheel on the car so I put these on there.


Getting the bumpers and side trim powder coated gloss black


I will be installing these wheels and brakes- After getting the wheels powder coated a dark gun metal gray.


I know its kind of scary because it already looks good but I need to put my twist on it. I think its gonna be bad ass. Lets just hope my 36 hp can push these 17 inch wheels, they are not light.

I'm looking forward to seeing end result!

Im sure it will look good. I like the chrome on it too

That should look awesome!

If the 17s are heavy for the 36hp, adding the disk brakes are gonna add even more weight. Are disk brakes necessary on a 36hp? Should look cool, can't wait to see the end results.

yes the disk brakes are over kill but they dont weigh much more than the stock ones do.

Its kinda like the oposite of a sleeper. Looks fast , but its a turd! I love the look of the 36 hp and just hate to take it out to put the big motor in it. If I put a big motor in it , I will be cutting the apron and dont really want to do that.

love twists, can't wait to see it finished.

Why would you have to cut the apron, mines not cut?

Because I like it easy. It was such a pain to pull the motor out of the rag top. When it was installed I just put the body over the motor when mounting to the pan. If I dont find a clean Ghia soon enough I will probably put the motor in the blk 57. Without cutting apron, Im just not looking forward to it.
