VERY NICE!

One little thing maybe (and it may be only because its a drawing) but, the contour of the holes (in silver) look like they are a bit squared off compared to original chrome inserts, if the edges we're a bit bigger and rounded off maybe?

Like 'em anyway!

We're beginning the bodywork on our 1971 Olds project, and we're trying to save all the original steel if possible. This time, we're patching the lower fenders, as these cars - all GM "A" bodies in general - seem to have rusty holes in their fender bottoms.

I'm OK with the holes on the rims, but I would reverse the rim so that the polished part would look more like the trim rings (smooth w/o the step changing diameter. this would put the raised part behind the painted center). Just my 2 cents. Looks like a great project. Please keep us posted.

I had these on my 84 cutlass these olds ralleys for awhile they came on it orginally and i really liked the look of them although they were only 14"s " but they were clean " lol" Probablyone of the nicest ralley wheels built!

Just a quick update from the shop... Kelle brings us up to speed on the chassis and the body moving from the Autotwirler to the body jig we built.

The wheel looks great. I think you might be on to a new trend in the market. I'd like to see a Corvette Rally Wheel look a like in billet in the 18 to 20 inch range. Stockton Wheel and a couple of others will modify (widen) a steel wheel with custom offsets but your out of luck if you need an 18 to clear the brake calipers etc.

Thoughts on disassembling the body on our 1971 Olds "S71" project. This time, it's spotweld seperation 101. We'll feature more on this topic when we begin the reassembly of this car using an HTP QuickSpot II spotwelder. This time, we take a look at some of the disassembled panels and see how they came apart.

Next video - sparks fly!
