    I bet that @Phillips could have made you a bitchin set of 15x4 and 15x10 chromed steel slots that would be perfectly period correct and make you the only guy at most events with those and one of the coolest guys around... (not that you are not that now!) hahahahahaha

    These were on Stubby when I bought him...Not sure if I would have bought them myself, but they don't look bad (especially after I spent a couple of hours bringing them back to life:D

    I have been following along when I can & can't wait to see it done. I would LOVE to see you paint it back to what it looked like when it was run last. Brought Momma home from the hospital last night after 15 days, so now it is not a 100 mile round trip each day. Should be able to check in more now!

    You will probably have yours already, but I just took the almost new U.S.Royal bias ply 6.70-15 tires off the front & replaced them with American Classic Radials...You can have them cheap if you want them!!!!

    God Bless

    Right on Mark!
    That whole p.c. deal about saying "if ya got nothing nice to say, don't speak" is fine when referring to people but when it comes to those things it's open season.
    Just like when those phony Mr Gasket injector scoops came out I sang to the world how I felt about them (still do).

    Not to necessarily promote those wheels but (to me) that looks more like they used a 17" wheel, sort of a stock file kind of deal.

    Not in my area brother. $800 for 2 is the cheapest I've seen.

    I paid $400 for these 15x4’s with fairly new tires and thought I did ok? Still haven’t found the 15x8’s I need though… Took me a few months to trip across mine.

    You want to copy the 59 Belair in Mad Max! Looks so cool, especially since it was a six cylinder car. View attachment 6119939

  24. Yeah, you're not going to find deals at big popular shows or big popular swap meets, those swap meet vendors are pretty much professional sellers.
    I've done real good at our local race track swap meet, racers want the newest lightest wheels and latest technology on performance parts, practically give away old heavy aluminum slots.
    $200 on these 15x4.5's w/tires two yrs ago
