I am looking for front and rear vintage 15" Firestone tires for a restoration project. These are the ones used from the 60's and 70's, if anyone has any drop me a PM. Tony

Tony, you have too many irons in the fire. I could help lighten your load a little by your hiring me as your "Head Avitar Photographer", or would that be "Bottom Avitar Photographer"? Bob  |

Tony, I would offer to buy you one, but most of my crew are from Montana and they only let me buy Rainier or Kokanee both of which might ruin your SOCAL discriminating taste. Now if it was Dan Warner, he will drink even antifreeze as long as the label shows it has alcohol in it, or so I am told. Bob  |

Stainless, why is it that everytime you visit I later get visits to local "Gentlemen's Club's" billed on my Visa card. Letting you use my card to pay for your Hotel room may have been a slight error in judgement on my part................. Bob |

Bob, I am not from SOCAL, those guys are a little rough and will drink anything with alcohol. I am from NORCAL and the guys here are a little more picky and want at least 9% alcohol in their beverage.
Somebody must have some old Firstone's they want to get rid of for a worthy cause. Tony

I will ask Geisler, but you might want to check with Marlo (503) 678-2678 0r Dennis Hough in Eugene,Or. His phone number is (541) 344-0095. I built him a new chassis about ten years ago for a old roadster he bought from Doc Jeffries, and at that time it had a pair of (I believe) 8:00 or 8:20x 15's on it. Also, I don't know if if they survived the crash a few years back, but Seth Hammond ran them on that car around that time. The Portland Swap Meet is coming up in April and I will keep my eye out for you (the glass one, not the seeing one)......................... Bob |

Somewhere in our stuff, I think we still have some (3, I think)... We don't run them anymore as they are down to needing haircuts... they were, I think 800/820 X 15 and about 29" tall....They are not usable as race tires in my opinion though...

Fastman, The tires are going on a car I am restoring (John Helash's 427 SOHC Mustang) and will be used for display only, the racing days of this old girl are long over. Let me know what you have. Thanks, Tony

Tony, I have a plan that will get everyone digging to find you some tires.... There is a place called vistaprint or something like that, they make custom calendars pretty cheap... you put the pictures in online and they send you the finished calendar...
so you just offer your avatar calendar as a bonus to folks who find you tires
Fastman... you could have the first one ....

Stainless, you've proven (once again) that you've got something going for buttocks. Not only Tony's avatar images, but even Freud's hiney on the Salt Talks t-shirt last year. Wanna tell us about it?

Just to clear up a comment from Bob. I will drink anything with the letters B, E(two required) and R anywhere in the lable. Anti-freeze only meets one of those. Oh yeah, it has to be free.
