        That's a beautiful ride, and I think this is a trick question, so I'll go with the safe default BangShift response and say if it needs anything (and if it was mine it doesn't)...but if it did need anything I guess it needs a blower.

          Only things I would change is to turn the white wall in and mount the front tires on matching slots. Otherwise its perfect like it is.

            Take off the white walls on the front tires and call it perfect. But I'm known to have horrible taste, especially compared to you, and especially on real old cars. I think your car is awesome in it's simpleness and cleanness. I still like the exposed carbs and air filters.

              smaller tach, side pipes, radiused wheel wells, n50-15's sticking out, fuzzy dice...

              just kidding. Front end did come up some ? I can't get a clear image in my head because of the angle. If you're changing vibes, go ahead and drill the hole and change the tach. That's why they make "goof plugs"

              Oh yah, and one of these, cuz "Every car has one" (repo man)

                      are you trying to go 70's? The big tach has to go.

                      I'm mixed emotion on the ww being out if you don't have RWL out on the rear.

                        I have some slicks that will go on it for the drags. On black steel wheels. They should match pretty well. I'm kind of thinking it would be nice to get some more steelies for some neat street rear tires, but money is getting a little tight right now for the toys.

                          Ever considered jettisoning the front bumper?

                            White wall delete, paint the roll bar to match the interior or at least lighten up the color. And maybe, remove the front bumper and add push/bars, nerf bars, what ever they're called. Like everyone I already think the 55 is triple bitchen, so changes are just tinkering around the core of cool.

                            On the functional side I've always been skeptical of the tiny air cleaners but you'll know from experience if they work OK. I like the traditional mailbox scoop look too, same air filter issue. But these are all subjective. Do you do anything special for when it rains? I've got a plastic barrier for the front facing hood scoop and a K&N pre filter that wraps around the element if we get down pours like last year.

                            Peewee it's already roots blown so that base is covered.
