Thinking about getting some Aluminum Slots and putting some BFG's on them to drive it.
Whatever you do, get those Eagle STs off of there ASAP. The tire industry recommends 10 years max for radials. I don't think those Eagle STs have been made for 20 years.

A tire can look perfect, but still delaminate and have the tread peel off due to age. This really makes a mess of fiberglass body panels when it happens at highway speeds. I actually saw it happen to a friends '70 LS5 vette with a 15 year old BFG that showed no indication of aging (cracks, etc).

Nice pics!
