Car pics too cool not to share

Does anyone else have a problem with the fact that the front wheels are much more "deep-dish" than the rears? I'm used to seeing exactly the opposite: deep-dish rears, shallow fronts. Now that I've seen the wheel set-up on that '69, it just looks totally bass-ackwards to me. What say y'all?

I think what you are really saying is this is the correct wheel on a 69 Chevelle

Found a 69 with enough rear dish , however you will have to supply your own bleach blonde.

Much badly. My dad says I'm an over analyzer and I shouldn't point out such obvious issues. He really hates it when I point them out on his stuff.

Also, flat-faced wheels on old cars bother me. They have to have some dish to them. I even want a lip on import wheels.

Maybe it needs mini tubs?

Here's a 71 GMC with a 351M V - 6 , ( Spoiler alert @Zorba advert your eyes ) .

I think that's a pretty rare truck, what with the 351, and "Magnum" at that. Too bad about the lowering.

Right in my back yard. Can't believe how much this show has grown.

Dino has done a great job for years and is unbelievable now. Many venders as well as Chevy trucks.

Na, it just needs the right axle length under it. Tubs would allow a wider tire, but until that axle is shortened/narrowed, that wheel mount surface is going to stay in the same position.

Narrowed vs standard. As deep as it is, we could have a chicken stew with that one wheel.

I'm a child, I always think about Trex arms when I see stubby rearends.

That's what I was thinking when I first saw it. Makes me wonder if he used the rear axle out of something other than an "A"-platform car.

Possibly. I know a lot of people have been swapping late model IRS into restomods, so maybe it's that. It could also be something as simple as the wrong disc brake conversion. I’ve seen some that push the WMS out an inch or so each side.

Expensive vintage fun 1969 COPO ZL-1 Camaro - 69 built , ZL-1 All Aluminum 427 Can-Am racing big block rated at 430 h.p. but dynoed at 550 h.p. ( Gross ) 12.0 - 1 compression . It changed the price of the Camaro from $3600 - $3800 to $7200 ! They didn't sell well . In 2020 one sold at auction for $1,094,500 !
Another interesting fact is not many TJ owners own one.

Wow! There's a lot of cool chit going on with this one! Love that it's got a W-motor in there, instead of the run of the mill SBC.
