    Done a little wheel swap, I thought the five spokes fit the period of car better with the big block.

    Been driven pretty regular now for a couple weeks, put about 500 miles since last Friday, I cant get enough of it. Thanks for takin a look.

    Yeah, I agree too. And I'm predicting more cars will run ToqueThrusts as the sixties look grows - you're ahead of the curve!

    Any body seen John Robinson's green 35 pickup? Says "Johnny Rotten" on the door. That truck just looks great with the TT wheels.

    Bet your deuce is serious ride with that BB!

    The 5 spokes definitely give it a more 60's muscle look. cl***ic. Looks great.

    Ditch the caps. It'll look more racey/tough

    I'd say that they didn't and he probably painted or sold the car by now.

    And all because some fng got a hard on over Fred's avatar and didn't give a rip about a roadster with different wheels. I think my dad had a signed autographed photo of her from way back when. My dumb ***ed X brother in law probably threw that out too after dad died.
     
  21. I tryed to point this out earlier on.........
