even a wornout hooptie looks good with the right wheel and tires

I didn’t realize that song even mentions a 69 Electra in the lyrics

 

We call the Blazer my buddy and I built for him the Hooptey. It was a real pile when we got it. Drove it around for a year before we started the resto and it's a miracle I didn't end up laying on the ground under it while going down the highway. It literally had one bolt holding the seat in and the rest the bolts were pretty much just screwed into the air as the floor pans had rusted away around them. Most the sheet metal we ended up fabbing ourselves out of cheapness.....he thought we'd have it knocked out in a weekend. 8 months later he found out I knew what I was talking about....

 

..speaking of COOPER, My sons Canyon, My wifes Terrain, and a host of other cars I've owned over the years, sported Cobra radial tires. I have an old 60's COOPER TIRES distributor sign on my garage wall. Gotta Lov' them COOPERS!
