Hi, we are currently in the process of restoring a 1967 roadster for a local couple.



It has lead a very hard life. The car is has a 427 with single 4-barrel and 4 spd trans.As you can see in the picture someone added wheel flares to the car. We are trying to help the owner decide which way to go. Back to original or they way she has always seen it. Any help would be great.

Jon

I don't know. The flares don't look bad, I kind of like 'em. Nothing wrong with being different either. I look forward to progress pics.

Welcome to the forum. If I had a vote, I'd vote for original.

Nice area you're from -- it's made for several nice rides on the bike. I haven't made it through that way yet with the Vette.

Welcome to the forum Jon!

Personally I would keep the flares, but in the end it's up to the person who owns the car

There are a number of us who hang out in the Danville/Bloomsburg area.
