Tom
You did a really nice job on the resto. How about some "before" pics. Always neat to see what you started with.
Are you looking for a set of the magnesium rear wheels that were slotted like in the original pic? I know a guy that has a set but they are 16" which was very popular back then. Not sure what size your car originally ran. I don't think you can get tires for them anymore though so would have to find a nice used set for display only.

We've got some before pics here somewhere, but they're really not much to look at. Just a fiberglass body in primer, and a dirty frame.

As for the wheels/tires, I believe he has been hunting a set of 16" magnesium wheels! The wheels on it now (I think?) are 16" American Racing wheels, and he was *supposed* to be getting some vintage (ie. correct) tires mounted on them, but for some reason they haven't made it in from Cali. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] I think he was gonna try and shoot you a PM before he left for Bowling Green where Mo and the car are waiting. Mo said it's getting LOTS of looks/compliments[img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img].

Watching the guy hand letter the car was friggin' AMAZING... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

Nothing like real hand lettered cars with brush strokes. I almost gaged at Ford Carlisle when I looked at a premo restored T-Bolt and the car had vinyl graphics. Step up and do it right...BKH
