Hi . Remember Phantom ghia H*ll yeah!! And one day Rudy want "to put it to his taste"
And bye bye shinny black paint !!
So the Phantom Ghia is not 'phantom' anymore?  That _was_ my favorite car/Ghia all-time hands down....  And people get upset when an old Gasser gets restored Now, this is really upsetting. Mah, probably only just to me ;-) |

Looks like the shell went through a typical US restoration to me so I guess it is  |

Bye any chance do you know the rim size and offset or backspaceing on it. I'm going 8" rim but need to figure out offset. I like the deep dish look and I'm doing custom trailing arms for 3-5" narrow. I want 1-1.5" clearance from fender so tire removal is not to much problem. I was thinking 3" or 3.5" backspace
Thanks

Hi . This now the trouble for Rudy, because he want widder/bigger tires. Originaly on Phantom ghia tire is 8.5 by 24" . And on ghia when you are very low the tire may touch the top of rear fender during hard launch ... I ask to Rudy for the offset . Shell again ...  to save the tire and for more fender rigidity, Rudy weld a plain tube.     Rudy need to rework the frame of front and rear wind shield. Due to the shopped roof (originaly on PG)   Before this Rudy returns to the chassis . ... . |
