First off, I posted this in the Classic Buicks section a couple of days ago and haven't got any replies. So I figured I would post it over here as I know it gets alot more traffic. Hi, I haven't been on the board for quite some time now. For a while I was busy with school and other activities and for the first part of the summer I have had many projects to get wrapped up. Anywho, I thought I would give all of you an update on my '62 Invicta. First off, I have been working my butt off scraping/scrubbing the engine bay. 43 years of crime can really take a toll on toothbrushes :laugh: . Currently it is all original with the exception of a rebuilt engine and an aftermarket air cleaner. Currently I am selling off some toys (go-kart/dirt bike) to play with my other toy, the Invicta :Brow: . I plan to purchase a set of new wheels and tires, I haven't decided on the wheels yet. I also plan to purchase a few performance items for it as well. Now, for my questions. My first question is reguarding wheels. I would like to go with a wider wheel in the rear, somewhere around 8" wide. I was wondering if this is possible and what amount of backspacing will I need to achieve this? Secondly, what wheels do you think would look good on my car? It's Cameo Cream with an Arctic White roof. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thirdly, where can I find some performance parts for my 401ci Nailhead? I was thinking intake manifold and headers and possibly ordering a custom ground cam from Comp Cams. The only problem is I can't find anyone that carries performance parts for the Nailhead and I do it won't fit my year. Thanks for all the help everyone, it's much apprecated :TU: !
