Yes sir. That was when the ralleys got swapped on.
The 18/20 TT2's I originally put on it were getting bald on the rear so I needed new tread to keep driving. I didn't want to do the 18/20 combo any more & had the 20" Coys for my 68 just sitting in a corner. So.... I popped them on to see how I liked the look. It was pretty sharp but 1 trip made the decision toward the 15's as I couldn't even drive down the alley @ 10mph w/o the front tires buzzing the tops of the inner fender wells (shorter tires 27" on the 15's).
I drove it to the local cruise/burger joint (Kellers) w/the Coy's & off they came the next morning.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
