    Love your car, but I bet that it didn't come with "dog dish" hubcaps when it was new. I was there; the guys I knew didn't get into that until the 409 Biscaynes. I remember reading in "Hot Rod" magazine in 1958 that one of these ran a 14.34 quarter.

    THX all. Hey Bob not too old yet-still can push in the clutch. As to the small caps-this car came with full discs but I didn't like em but I was there too-had a 57 Pontiac in 59 with reversed wheels and 58 Pontiac dog dish caps-had to pop em off at the drags

    Was the, for the lack of the proper nomenclature, "Ram air hose" going to the radiator support part of the stock Fuelie package?

    What is the silver color thing next to the horn?

  6. What a primo Bel Air. Pardon my drool.
     
  7. The dog dish hubcaps are perfect on that.

    I think you've finished two or three 40's in the time I've spent trying to complete my one, and I'm not finished yet! And now you bring out this fuelie - I think that's called piling on. If I appear to be jealous its because I am. Congrats on some very nice cars.
