I watched an episode of American Streetrodding just last nite, and there was a guy on that had done a 58' Delray on the cheap. He was running wide whites on his car and said that if you use any raised white letter tire, and scrub off just enough of the sidewall, that under all that rubber, you will end up with a set of wide whites. Not saying I approve of the method, but if you'e wanting to do it on the cheap, that couldn't get any cheaper. Anyone else ever heard of this?

Unsafe and illegal. There's DOT required markings on the sidewalls of tires that if removed, make the tire illegal to use on public roads. Nevermind the fact that by doing that, the tire sidewall is weakened.
