Steve,
Your '32 looks fantastic! It looks like you switched from Hoosier tires to Mickey Thompson, didn't you like the Hoosiers? What size wheels and tires are on the car now? Really looks like a Hot Rod!

Steve, beautiful car and fantastic flame job. I assume you are pretty damn excited about the finished product.
Did you get a discount for using your car in their ad???

The rears were new Hoosiers- 30x12.5x15, the fronts were the Michelin 145's. Fronts were 10 years old & I didn't trust them at highway speed, especially after hitting a piece of lumber at speed!
The plan was to replace the fronts w/ Hoosiers w/ a matching tread pattern. Problem was- they were too wide for the look I wanted on the front.
So- I bought the MT SR radials for the front 1st. A week later, I bought the rears so I would have matching tread.
Fronts are slightly shorter than the Michelins but about same width.
Rears are about an inch shorter & a inch narrower.

I love how the flames came out. Dennis Ricklefs is a dream to work with. What a down to earth normal guy. I was there almost every day for 2 1/2 weeks while flames went from a roll of green tape to a finished flame job. Dennis actually would call me to see what time I would be there & hold off on some of the work knowing I would want to see the progress. Most guys would have hated that!
Discount? I got some free T-shirts & a hat. Does that count?
Ryan mentioned to me something about adding my car to the website but I didn't pay it much attention. I was in there last week & Ryan asked me if I saw my car yet. Nice surprise! Talked to dennis while I was there- he's flaming a black 3 window at So-Cal now, just like The California Kid.
Thanks everyone for the kudos!
