[Neverdone]

Yup I think the taller tires is the way to go!!!!

 

[Sam_Fear]

Those tall skinnys are exactly what it needs!

 

[Flipper_1938]

Would y'all go 700-15 at all four corners? or raked?

 

[Sam_Fear]

I'm thinking same size all corners. Did any 1930's speedsters run different sizes?

I would go with slightly smaller on the front. I also think I would go with 16 inch wheels... 30" dia. on the rear and 28" dia. on the front. Do you know if you can run the tires you posted without tubes?

Big wheels would be cool...but very expensive.

All of that tropical moisture pumped in by the former hurricane made it difficult to get interested in doing anything in th shop. I did get the outdoor pics though.

 

[Sam_Fear]

Your butt looks big. (I say that as a friend ) You need to take off some of the bottom - not only for looks, you'll never make it out of a parking lot without dragging!

Go as big of wheel as you can to balance out the tail.

What do you think of it now that you have a good look of it outside?

 

[Sam_Fear]

Kinda like this....

 

[earthman]

For proportions i think it needs much larger tires/wheels and agree the rear could be rounded up on the bottom. Sure good to see this up and out of the shop.
