I've been a proponent of perfect fit and subtle modifications (subtle in the sense that you may not catch it at first glance... even if it took an extra 100 hours of massaging a panel!), and the whole HellaFlush/Pro-Tuning concept NAILS the idea. If you've looked at a late-model 'Vette (Z-06, namely), dig on how great they look with the wheels pushed out, and how amazing one looks when care is taken with aftermarket wheels and tires... It has to go beyond the simple "Well my buddy runs 18's/19's, so it'll look good", right into "how much available space is there, or how much room can we make, and what can we fill that space with PERFECTLY? I'm loving this... thanks for bringing it to light!! I gotta say, I’m stoked to know that someone else sees it this way!

I like that. ha ha Thanks for the comment. The '70 Skylark sounds like a cool project. Pro-Tuning, I like that name. Glad you chimed in Kel! Falc-dog! I like that. ha ha Thanks for the comment.

Having a sweet Pro Touring classic with some deep dish three-piece rims flush with the fenders is the next evolution of tuning, "Pro-Tuning". Coming up, loving classic and modern automobiles since I was a child, I've had my share of personal projects. From my euro-lowriding days in the early '90s to the explosion of import tuning, and then finally getting my '70 Skylark with a stock 350 on Rally's and GT Qualifiers, and lastly my '01 F150 Supercrew drop with Hotchkis suspension on 22's. Although I still plan on making my truck, "hellaflush," making a classic with the amenities of a modern sports car is now my focus. I can only imaging how sweet a Falcon ("Falc-dog" is what we say from the Bay Area) would look dropped low and sweet on a staggered, deep rimmed, flush setup with a blown 5.4L from a Lightning or even a Ford GT.
