Getting closer by the look of it ?????

Too extreme for me, but not my car.
Dream, it's how the future and visions are created, and it's something you do by yourself and for yourself.
Love to see how you would fit 22".
Could be done, (anything can be) but I'll bet it's going to be very very expensive and very technologically advanced.
I can't see how the HZ on the first page could steer either

Side shot looks great, you have a bit of work to get the front guard on with some clearance, good luck Kiid61, Trev

Shit Hot & Awesome Kiid, I agree
Dont be afraid to go with big and littles if thats what it takes to get it done.
Foose has done it with a tubbed fastback mustang for a bloke in
a wheelchair on one of those overhaulin eposodes.
Dont know if big & little wire wheels would work, but
other styles of wheel definatly do.
Cheers
Jeff
Big & little wire wheels worked on T buckets in the 70's
but thats a different story.

Great progress Kiid ........ would be awesome in a straight line, be good to see how the clearance pans out with the 20's hey. I really appretiate the effort going into this build, but I am more "olskool" ('cause I'm old
) and prefer the smaller diameter rims ...... but regardless of that, keep up the great work as it is your car to do what you want. I will be following this build with much interest.

This is getting one hell of an interesting build Kiid 61.
I am enjoying the trial fit of the wheels & then the practical work done on the body/chassis to make it feasible.
You have a better mechanical mind than me, I would'nt even think it was possible in the first place and changed the rims before trying to 'nut out' the way around it. Don't give up on your dream...you've proven a lot wrong so far.
KUDOS to you.

From what I have seen in your photos ,your engineering looks good and you are thinking outside the square , I dont doubt that you will get this done , you obviously know what you are doing ,and putting some thought into your problems ,so go for it

wagon wheels .how tall were they
you should put 48s on then the mofos will look at you
just read my post and It came out wrong
shucks ,just cut the phuck out of it,
it might be easier to get a steering chassis then drop
an ek body on top,personally Id go FB or even better
Shoe box Chev and stop playing with Rubbish,
Only jokin,looks real good/great you can always cut the front guard and shape it as original
to clear,the inner the same ,
go for it

Wagon wheels were about 2 1/2 inch from memory and they came in a fancy green packet?
Cheers Brodie,
I'm going gun metal grey with red flash not flat black. Red trim, 2 bench seats like origional. Might cover it in leather, not sure yet.. I'll stick with the holden motors. It's only going to be a cruiser so I'm not fussed on power..
