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.
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".
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Me putting the "Granny wheels" to the test against a b-body buddy of mine.
!!UPDATE!! Just closed out the 09 season with a new personal best of 13.17 @ 104.6mph! Woo hoo!
