You guys always come through! Thanks for helping with this...greatly appreciated. If anyone knows of a set for sale please message me. Thanks!
Anyone know what kind of wheels Gene Winfield used on The Reactor? Any help would be greatly appreciated. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Tim, Glad you like the BB. You and Moriarity are absolutely correct about these gauges. The fact that SW only used glass knocks them out of the...
On the other hand could it be these SW gauges? The needles are in the midline location and the outer rings look like they match better. [ATTACH]...
Great detective work Moriarity. I didn't notice that the underlying face of the gauges were somewhat visible under the foggy lens. The middle one...
Funny, I was just talking to a friend this morning about the Reactor. Apparently the original was shown at Concourse d' Elegance in Pebble Beach...
Made by Sears..close but no cigar: [ATTACH]
Thanks Chris but I already scored two of those scoops. Got the Batwing too. No idea where I'd find those valve cover covers so probably going to...
Any ideas on what that Go-Go button came from?
Great info. Gauges should be easy. Thank you!
I'll be the first to admit this car is pretty ugly and looks like it was built during the midst of a tornado but it is historically significant to...
Okay, moving right along...anyone know what these lights/buttons are from? [ATTACH]
Abe, I've seen that video but not those other links. They were great. Thanks!
Thanks Ron. I wouldn't have thought there would be a need for cheapo valve covers. It's not like there aren't any inexpensive valve covers out...
Thanks for your comments (most of them anyway). Will have to research valve cover covers. Yes it's definitely a Barris car. He slapped it...
I am building a replica of the Mongrel T. It was driven by Elvis in the movie "Easy Come Easy Go" and later used in in the Batman TV show as The...
Thanks to Terry at AKH Wheels out in Washington State I believe the rear wheels are Raders DBR 200I. This makes sense since Raders (DBR 990) were...
[ATTACH] Is this the SR issue you were talking about typo41? It could be the same wheels as what's on teh Jokermobile but it's hard to get a good...
Thanks Bowie. I will look into it to see if theres any info on Tacoma Wheel out there.
I just received contact info for Robert who owns the car in question from a very kind and helpful member so this post is now obsolete.
I know. I tried to PM him but he only accepts PM's from selected members.
Probably could be made from those. I have also found some aftermarket wheels that closely resemble the ones I'm looking for. But if I could...
Quitters never win and winners never quit. It's going to come together. Eye on the prize.
Jeff, I previously posted here looking for help to identify some wheels. Please follow link to my post to get all the background:...
Does the symbol on the hubcaps have any significance to the wheel manufacturer?
Toner283 Thank you so much for your help. With the higher resolution you can see the hub much better. While there are many wheels with similar...
Although the view is limited these may in fact be the same wheels. If you could post the picture of the car straight on from the side I'd really...
[ATTACH] With all the stickers removed I think the underlying surf board label survived underneath. Above is the mongrel when it was first done...
The stickers on the seat back originally were related to the surfboard manufacturer. [ATTACH] Then they were covered for the Elvis movie with...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Also wondering what kind of funky fabric/material they used to cover the doors. They really put some crazy stuff on this car.
