Don't know if this is a clone or the real one that was restored several years ago. Nonetheless, putting modern rims on it with modern looking slicks kills the whole effort. Nothing worse than someone building a "period correct" cackle car and then half-assing it with modern rims/rubber.
I agree. It's like going to the nostalgia drags and seeing a 68 Camaro with 14x32's, tubbed out, about 2" off the ground, modern pro stock scoop (same car that runs every Sunday). Not too nostalgic to me!
