Here's some pics of my '68 Chevy Biscayne. It's a "driver" - definitely not a show queen. I'm into cruise-ins and drag racing so she can't corner well and the only "sound system" is the gentle engine's rumble.

She runs okay for now, but there's lots of engine upgrades planned as money and becomes available. The current drivetrain consists of a mild 400SB (old Holley 780, lightly ported "doublehumps", mild CompXE cam, KB pistons) hooked to a TH350. I recently installed a rebuilt 12 bolt with an Eaton posi with a 3.42 gear in place of the original 10 bolt.

RaysnCayne's 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne 1999. The old wheel/tire/stance combo. This is how she looked about a year after I bought her and fixed her up a bit. 7" Rallys and 1 coil cut in the front. 8" Rallys with a big tire out back. No rings, just some old, gennie "Police caps".
RaysnCayne's 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne At the begining of summer '05 I was gettin' tired of that look and became really keen on stock steelies. I tried to go for a 60s , no hubcap "I'm-runnin'-my-car-at-the-dragstrip-tonight" look with 15x7" stock steelies from a '70 Impala and thinline whitelwalls.
RaysnCayne's 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne 2005. I dug the steelies but I needed that fat wheel and tire in the back so I went back to the Rallys, but this time with no caps and more coil cutting. 2 in front. 1 in rear.
RaysnCayne's 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne 2008. I grew weary of that common wheel combo so for the 2008 cruisin' season I'm now sporting these tricked-out 15x7 S-10 "Rally" wheels with genuine "police" caps.
RaysnCayne's 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne 2009. I've been wanting to do a set of black steelies with whitewalls for a long time. I have a tiny set of 14" wheels with tiny tires for my light weight drag tires. I matched them with a set of 15x7 early 90s Caprice steelies and white wall radials. Now it's got a sleeper/no-nonsense look. 
RaysnCayne's 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne The "327" The goal is to get the engine/engine bay looking as stock as possible. I've installed headers since this pic was taken so it's not quite as stock-looking anymore. Still, most folks don't believe she moves as quick as she does when they look under the hood.
RaysnCayne's 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne Me putting the "Granny wheels" to the test against a b-body buddy of mine. I need more weight transfer!!!

Hey! After about a year off or CD im came back...uhm you told me id be better off sticking with the color of my biscayne, which i probably will do because i realized what a pain changing colors was...but i might just kick it up a notch in brightness to make it look less old. I also have a set of american racing 16x8s. Im looking for 235 in front and 255-265 in back. although my main plans for now are fixing up the interior (tear in back seat and unsewn in front) and a bit of detailing. When i get it painted i will probably try to do the undercarriage at the same time, wouldnt want my baby to rust and rot, especially not after spending that much money on it. after all thatll be left are front brakes, ill probably put drop spindles to lower it about 2 inches in front. Oh yeah and im probably gonna put a full sound system (nothing in fiberglass with neons) with hidden woofers in the trunk...but thats for next summer. BTW i ended up changing my engine for a 350 4-bolt...not very powerful but im not really ready to start performance mods...i dont even have a limited slip diff...kind of looks funny to leave 1 tire mark on the streets! lol! thanks for the advice!!

I love your car. Can you please tell me what the tire sizes are that you used with the rallys and police center caps. I am after that very look. Thank you very much. Jerry Brown

Nice Biscayne! Those wheels are slick. You know any good sites to pick up parts for 69 B bodies? I'm having the hardest time ever, especially with body parts.
