Beautiful car. You should be extremely proud of that piece of machinery. Have you ever considered an aftermarket hood?

Oh, I forgot, Third - yes, I have considered an aftermarket hood and I think I will eventually get one. Right now I have a lot of other things that I want/need first.
At the end of the summer I'm getting a new top and exhaust - and hopefully also a new interior. I have some very long-term plans for this car and I think it should stand out pretty nicely whenever I get done with it!!

That's about the cheapest 17" wheel you're going to find aside from the mega cheap junk out there.

Personally, I like the wheels ... they're somewhat 'old school' which appeals to me, but also modern. And, 17" is what I really want eventually. Anyone have info on where to get 'em? Thanks!!

89RustangRemover,
The mudflaps is a necessary evil - I drive this car year round in the midwest, and I actually prefer mudflaps over NO paint on the quarters..

ONEFINE8T9,
No offense taken, Im the only one in town with these rims - and it gets attention everywhere...so, they're not common here at all.. + I've wanted these rims since they first came out some years ago..

R.C. Righter,
I got mine from www.hotrodsusa.com - I highly recommend them, great to deal with!


Ken
