Looks great! I'm not typically a fan either, but the right combo looks good

Mike

Thanks Steve! Jealous you have two running cars and I have none.

Looks great. Keep up the progress man!

Thanks, Im trying but priorities are making it difficult.

The wheels look great. Keep up the great work on the build.

Thanks! Hopefully November will be a really good month for the car.

BBS RK's. 18x8.5 up front and 18x10 in the rear.

I thought that even the gray would be too much but im really loving them.

So I was waiting on my power steering lines for over a month and a half, for some reason my non AC 85 didn't fit what Late Model Resto had for that application. Ended up needing something from 87-90 car without AC... odd but whatever. Now that the lines are on the car I can hook up my steering shaft and rack.


So once I hooked that up I just had to see how it sat on the ground with these new wheels.

I am not a fan at all of black wheels and when I got these I had a very hard time visualizing how they would look being a darker color. I cannot explain how ecstatic I am about these wheels. I think they change the car totally. So happy I kept the car and so happy I am moving again on the project.
