New guy here checking in from "beautiful" Globe, Arizona. I recently purchased a 63 S-22 that had been mostly restored, and am now finishing it up and putting things a little more to my own standards.
She's been converted to a pretty healthy 289 and C4, with a narrowed V8 Mustang rear.
I've got a few bits and pieces yet to find, and the tires are WAY too big, but I'm plugging away at it. I'm also having a major debate with myself on the appropriate wheels for it.

There's nothing like the sound of a pushrod V8 singing at the top of her lung's.

Re: Hello from Arizona
The fronts rub pretty bad, the rears only do on occasion.
I'll get some decent pics today to add.

Re: Hello from Arizona
Welcome aboard! Great looking Comet! To me, wheels/tires were one of the hardest things to decide on. It's very difficult to figure out what will fit (not rub) without actually mounting the desired tire on the desired wheel and test driving it. Problem is, they're yours then, win or lose. I went through a long stretch of analysis paralysis before deciding on my combo. The rears were my biggest concern, and turned out to be a non-issue. The fronts do want to rub a little under certain turning situations. I think that will be taken care of when I rebuild the front suspension, including new springs. Keep the pics and updates coming.
