Nice!
Back in the '60's and 70's Cragar SS and Torque Thrust D's were the bomb.

I had 10 inch reverse dish chrome Cragar SS on the rear and 7 inch on the front of my '69 Tempest. G60 biased on the rear and the front I can't remember, but they had that skinny look.
Radials were just coming on the market at the time.

My '69 Tempest was basically a GTO. I swapped out the overhead cam six for a Pontiac 428. Replaced the 3-on-the-tree with a Hurst floor shifter and an M21 4 speed out of a Camaro.

Lots of other goodies too. Edlebrock intake and carb, Hays street and strip clutch, headers, Hush Thrush mufflers to name a few.

That clutch was so strong, I broke two clutch pedals. I had to get a guy to weld a reinforcement on the pedal. The bracket that the pushrod mounted to kept sheering off.

That car was a beast!

Fun times....

Will install by this weekend, staggered 18's and sticky Sumitomos

Nice!
Later in my fifties I did up a '69 notch back mustang.
Too many goodies to list.
It was fun. Sold it, made a significant profit and moved on to the next hobby, a boat!

nice!!! What engine, tranny and rear end and gearing ?

Originally a 351 auto. When I got the car it had a 302 which is an incorrect engine for a Mach. I wanted a 428 but too cheap to pony up for one. I SHOULD have bought a 390 or at least a 351. But instead we rebuilt the 302 and it's fairly strong. Not krazee but strong. 4 speed top leader and I'm not certain on the gear set in the differential. It runs ok. Headers so it sounds like it's mean. It's fun cruising.
