Re: Jim's (Wheelhop) 69 parts car
The truck is pretty rusty, even the roof which had a vinyl top. I suppose anything can be saved, but.....
Few more pics. Jim dreaming that it's a 427  Laguna S3 out back

Rusty quarter panel.
The other quarter and fenders are like it.

Re: Jim's (Wheelhop) 69 parts car
Dan,
to answer your question about the gauges. It's a mixed set. One VDO vacuum gauge, two SW gauges (temp, oil pressure)

Re: Jim's (Wheelhop) 69 parts car
-----In south Florida those mags were called ten-spokes by just about everybody. At that time they were sort of considered a more affordable wheel. Is that better than saying "cheap"??? I always liked them anyway, but for some reason Ansen slots were more on my radar screen. Now, not so much! Americans were expensive, and only seen on rich kids cars, but were always my favorites........Bill S

The aluminum is thinner than the earlier ones. The ones you want have Forsight Ventures .... SEMA.... on the backsides, along with the valve stems in the spoke area. Forsight only made 14x6 and 15x7, both which I have a set of. The 15x7s will not fit most cars. These wheels have a huge offset, the 14x6s rub sometimes the front of my car. The knock off wheels came in 15x6, which I think the Camino wheels are.
