Default New TTOs

Here's my new look on the Catalina. Had to slightly massage the wheel well edge to provide proper clearance. Sure wish they would offer different offsets for these wheels.
I ended up with 225/70/15 General Altimax RT tires. Very small bulge was one reason. The other is the total lack of choices in tires! I thought going to 15 inches would help. Unfortunately, bigger wheels don't come in offsets that will work on limited wheel well openings.

Power Steering, Power Brakes, Add on AC.. B1 engine which is optional 4 barrel.. Was originally a bucket seat car but the original front and back seats have been changed to a set from a '64 GP.. Not a bad builder...

Here's a thread I started on it:

Somebody suggested that you guys would like this one. While looking for a frame shop that can fix my LeMans, I came across this picture during a web search. It's from a local tow/body shop.

How bad was that Factory ORIGINAL Paint and Pinstripes that prompted a repaint?
