Olds school rods with white walls

[StephenG]

Well, I have owned my little hardbody for almost a year now, and love everything about it, except the poor paint job that was abused by a previous owner. I've tossed around so many ideas for paint and style, but I have never settled on anything very long until now. I figured I would ask you guys for opinions as, frankly, I think this is one of the most moderate HB groups around.

Heres the inspiration:


I love the two tone matte black with gloss white on top. I have the full chrome package so I will leave all that shiny. I don't like the wheels, plan on just putting some chrome smoothies on it, but I cannot for the life of me find a white wall tire in our stock size. Am I going to have to buy a 15 or 16 inch wheel just to buy a white wall? Has anyone done this? Anyhow, what do you guys think?

Have you tried Coker tire? They do all the hot rod and vintage tire stuff.

I have checked Coker. They are the only solid lead I can find on one in fact, but I question the performance of the tire and the cost is such ($188 per tire) I could do new wheels and still be cheaper.

That paint style looks good on older cars and trucks, but in my opinion would look s*** on hard body, just my 2 cents.
