Those are some awesome rear tires on that Camaro! I like it! I can easily remember back in the Eighties and of just being in love with the whole "Pro Street" craze and seeing a big, steamroller set of Mickey Thompson 15"-16"-17" wide tires at places like the Car Craft Street Machine Nationals just made my day. Nowadays, I really CAN'T stand that look and I often think about how many neat, rare Musclecars would have been "tubbed out" if me and many others could have afforded to do that expensive type of chassis work back then! I've raced some pretty serious Drag Radial machines and have been involved with some 10.5 cars for a long time now and I just love the look and serious-ness of a mini-tubbed Drag car with 295 or 315 rear Drag Radials or a Mickey Thompson 10.5W. Ain't nuthin' tuffer-lookin' than a '67-'68 Camaro with a set of 10.5W X 31.00 Mickeys out back!

More of the Macri Camaro. Grump lump scoops....one of the coolest scoops of all time.

I think that 68 is set up perfectly. Here are 1974 shots of a chicago area car, with high lift like that 68.

1970 Chevelle. The graphics are from waiving an aceytlene welder set on rich over the panel then clear coating it...very popular back in the day and done right (and not too much) it looked good.

Car had 14 x6 or 14 x7 reverse(deep dish) wheels up front.Looked good in this case.

Car had that just right stance.

BTW: this car was in an Auto Trader mag several years ago still looking like this. It was being sold from the guys estate.
