Where are the customary wide whites ?

 

[Reign]

nice. i want to find something like that so i can get a weed eater motor and build it into a pit car. i have seen it done before but i still think it will be cool.

slicks in the rear and get some air tires off of a hand truck to use as skinnies in the front.

Paint on some wide whites . Good luck finding non billet wheels tho

you can get some non billets, if you look into getting slicks from a go cart then you will be able to look in the racing circuit and you can find non billet all day there. the fronts wont be billet since i have not seen a hand truck that comes with billet wheels. i think i am going to have to weld a spine on to my red depending on what motor i am going to look at putting in it.

I have big and little air tires on my swap meet wagon, nice **** rake. It pulls real nice and doesn't rattle. They do stick out a little and catch on stuff though. It was just a cheap Mal-Wart radio flyer. I had been wanting to do a cool lowrider from an old pan like you did. I have a good pan but haven't got around to it. I want to use 12 and 16 inch bicycle tires.
Then I got the pan I really wanted, a 50s Murray with the heavy roll and rounded front. But alas it is a nice complete wagon, even has all 4 hubcaps and I can't bring myself to ratrod it.
