1Fury1, can you post some pics of your car please? Like to see it.

There's not much to see yet. Just finishing up the firewall stuff and hope to get the engine and tranny installed in the next couple weeks. Body work is done except final paint. Interior done and waiting.

This is before


This is during


The plant


The interior

What size are those daisy wheels? I am looking to complete a set of those for my Road Runner, are you done with them?
Btw, I'd go with the magnums.

They are 14's and in desperate need of resurfacing or something. I am done with them though.

Bummer, 14s....

Given what I've seen of the car so far and what you've done with it. Go the classic mopar route and buy the Magnum's. But if it were me, and it's not, but if it were, I'd paint the windows on the wheels to color match the body, and probably black or red pinstripe following the opening. Or even pinstripe in the interior color.

Wow, amazing pictures. Come and help me anytime.

I have two nice ones for the rear and now just need a pair for the front, maybe 15" X 7"s?

I'm not sure what you mean, windows on the wheels?

He's talking about the blacked out segments of the Magnums I guess.

1Fury1, really nice job on the car! Excellent pictures also. You're doing it right. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

UGH. No offense but all they do is remind me of the Pedo Bear wheels.

Car looks great! Keep up the good work!

Yeah sorry. Back in my wheel industry days we referred to a pocket or opening in the wheel that was generally shaded or blacked out as a window.
