Re: Wheel Arches

I just found this thread while looking for wheel information--this is my car!
I bought it from the 'seller' mentioned earlier in the thread in 2009.
The reason for the modified wheel arches and 'odd steel wheels'-well spotted that man!- is that the car is an old racer that won the Western Canadian championship in '67, 68, and '69.
It has numerous original 26r parts including Armstrong adjustable front shocks, sliding spline drive-shafts, rear sway bar and did have an all steel bottom end until the seller b*****d that and then froze the block by leaving it in the car port pictured with no anti freeze-in Canada...At least he kept the hard top safe indoors.
I am in the process of rebuilding the car with the goal of running it in the Spring Thaw Rally here in BC in late April.
I am just about to remove the body...
