All been said, I may add they make wheels that are 16's with 30's that are only 21 inches high so there are many ways to get the stance you want but that is little work compared to the restoration work. Great car, good start and good luck, have fun is the key!

I really don't know if you need a new gas tank. That one looks pretty decent. Why don't you just have it boiled out at a local rad shop and put it back in. The 9 inch looks okay too. You just have figure out if it's got the gears you want and if it's a locker or equal lock.

Jmho.

By the way, that's one decent looking 55 Ford. Wish I had it.

Thanks for the input. I wasn't aware gas tanks could be boiled/cleaned. Is there some coating that can be sprayed/poured into it to better seal/protect it from rust? The 9" does look good from the outside, but I'm assuming it needs a brake overhaul and while I'm at it, I'll do seals and fluid change. Not sure of the gear ratio or locked/unlocked yet, but will once I get her up in the air.
