They look good to me. If someone calls you out on it, that's their problem, not yours.

First, welcome aboard, Pete! :D The answer to your question isn't straight forward. As far as what's the biggest tire you can fit on a 8"x15" rim, it looks like about a 295/50 according to this calculator: https://www.tyresizecalculator.com/tyre-wheel-calculators/wheel-rim-size-calculator At least t...

Looks great, Chris. What was the "adhesive enhancer" you used?

Jim

Good to see you back on your thread again. Pushing that clutch pedal is good physical therapy, too. You should aim for at least 100 reps/day to build your stamina.

Jim

If you have any designs on upgrading to front disc brakes in the future, you're better off going with 15" wheels. Tire availability is better with 15" than with 14", too.

Jim

Chris, where did you get your seat foam?

Thanks for the tip on the KBS tank sealer, Jim. I was aware of KBS, but only for use in painting iron railings, etc. I didn't know they made a tank sealer. I was planning on using Caswell tank sealer https://caswellplating.com/caswell-epoxy-gas-tank-sealer-car-tanks-up-to-20-gal-1-quart.html . It se...

We had to be creative on getting the fuel filter off. It was not very dirty but had not been changed in a long time. You're fortunate to not apparently have too much, if any rust in your tank. My car has a 302 out of 68 Fairlane, so uses a separate in-line fuel filter rather than an integral one li...

If you have the time to fool with it, it would be cool if you started another thread on the truck build in the All in the Family section. It would be interesting to see what you do with that one.

Jim

Welcome aboard! You can get plenty of advice here, free for the asking. Start you a build thread in the 60-63 Comets section so we can follow along with your progress. Looking forward to seeing it come back to life.
