True dat Bill, just try and keep the gold to a minimum. As for tires, I
have firestone F560 155R 13. I'd go up in size but the tires work well.

Now I am concerned Bill, new tires and a paint job??? What happened to
antique look, the patina?
Dan,
It worse than that. I plan to get a couple of extra rostyle rims and
blast them, paint, put on some new good tires. As the say in the hood,
"Gilroy be styling." That way I will be able to drive while I clean and
paint.
As for that Antique Roadshow patina, you know the patina, that add value
if and only if it is not cleaned off. Well that value was lost when I
turned my back and Frank buffed the patina right off my hood. Since I
have come that far I might as well continue do this strange road of
clean and polished.

PS. Still looking for tire brand and size recommendations.
