    Same! Nice find!
     
  6. I'm Ok with the wheels. Not my first choice but they look good on that car to me.

    If you shoot the hood with gloss black Rustoleum out of a quart can with a gun it matches up well with that old original black.

    I say... Do the mechanicals, paint the hood, detail it up and ride it it low buck for awhile.

    Neat car...

    At the first swap meet get a set of the flat caps that fit ralley wheels, and a set of 4" bullets. Install the bullets on the caps. Look close at my wheels.
