Joey, I probably built more cars last year then you have in your life. I think I know how to achieve "the look" without comprimise.... Where I got the idea that radia tires are so much better then bias is having driven cars in the 60's when bias tires were the norm and radials (as mentioned in another post) were junk. But hey, what would I know. As for the Camry comment, I'd like to have one!!! Economical car with a great ride.... Not to be confused with a hot rod, however.... I much prefer building something totally unique.
