Could be wrong but almost 100% certain those aren't original-design Minilight wheels...

Modern Superlites

Chris,
Cannot wait to see what Jason comes up with for his take on the Superlites. Here are a few modern day superlites that I came across from a company in Australia called "Homologated Options". They built the wheels that are on the famous Ford Falcon Coupe owned by actor Eric Bana. These particular wheels are 18". I really dig the classic trans am style wheels but in larger diameters. Keep up the great work, and don't forget to upload pics so I can live my life vicariously through you.

Chris -- Unless you painted it --- it's OKAY to get primer on the rotisserie -- in fact - as you know when you picked it up... IT COULD USE SOME PRIMER ON IT!!

Looks good buddy --

Blake Foster 02-21-2010 04:34 PM

Greg i am sure he would hate to return it in any better shape than when he picked it up. altho maybe that should be the rental cost...:thumbsup:

smhigh 02-21-2010 04:45 PM

Chris...

Your project is coming along really well.

Here are some more pics of my Camaro....
