    That car was in a magazine back in the 70s. I think it was Street Rodder.
     
  2. Those are Mullet wheels from the 80's. I remember working the parts store in '87 and selling them to the camaro boys.

    I believe I saw it in a old Custom Rodder from the early 80's. I think it had wire wheels on...
     
  4. Have an old rep in a Swedish mag called Power and in the rep it has Cragar 5-spoke wheels.

    Totally cool.

    If I lose a bet and have to take it, I'll give it to you.

    I have never been a fan of much of the car styling in the '70s. To each his own is why hot rodding works.

    Yes! O.K. no Wires, thank god! The Mirrors still suck .
    I like that 70's stuff. Yes it's often stupid and strange, but that's what I like of it. U gotta hav a little ;) when it comes to this cars. But beware, u start liking that shit! :D Just check out the interior of my 57 Bel Air. First i thought, man this stuff's gotta go! Now it's the last thing I would change. It's just too porn! These silver knobs are just everywhere!
    I do not have a better pic at the moment here.

    Hate to threadjack and ask a dumb question but was that a Nomad? I really like the looks of it but dont think I could chop up a Nomad to replicate it these days.
     
  17. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
     
  18. Not my style. But, it didn't look as bad with the Cragars. Someone took a pretty bad idea, and made it worse with the current wheels.
