Your son has a killer car. That color looks awesome on there. What color is it? I'm not too crazy about vinyl roofs, but it looks great on that car.

Thanks! It's the original color. Paint code 20 for 1970, called azure blue.

The custom Olds SSI caps are done. These will replace the flat NewGen caps that are on there now. The stock SSI olds rocket sticker is on top and then the caps were custom made from there to fit on the custom wheels. The caps are bigger then the stock SSI caps. For the Olds people here they look to be almost as big as the SSII caps. Here's a pic. Thanks to Jon for sending me the pic today:

Perfect wheel! I love them!

I cannot wait to see those on the wheels!

Olds Rocket caps are installed. Below are some pics. Sorry the tires are so dirty and the painted on white letters are already fading a little. I'll repost more pics when I get the car back and have time to get everything looking right. Probably going to sand the sidewalls clean and stencil on RWL more centered on the tires. Will probably be going with "BFGoodrich Radial TA" on all 4 tires since I can get the stencil right off the tires on my 70 Supreme (similar height 15" tires so the size of the letter should be about right too - see pic in sig below).

From another brother with a 71 conv I say.....:thumbsup:

Damn will have to show my buddy these wheels! His dad loved and collected 442/cutlass had 7 nd 3 rare and a 4 car or more full of olds parts all which where factory that he left to his son when he pasted and got perfect car started to slap a set of these on! Baddest wheel seen on a Olds to date great job Jon @ NewGen. Brandon

Looks great!:thumbsup:

Looks like Goodyear finally came out with the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2s in a 255/45/18 that was previously only available in the UK. Will be going with the plan I described in post #17, these new tires in the front and the 295/45/18 Eagle F1 GS in the rear. Will paint the white letters over the "Goodyear" and "Eagle F1" both front and rear. I think it will look much better than the Nitto letters painted.

Motor is out of the car right now so it may be end of the year before I get to this but was happy I have this as an option now instead of having to shave the sidewalls of the Nitto tires and creating a template etc. Was going to try it but seem like lots of work. May still try doing this for a new set of drag radials some day but now I can just do the rears and will go with Goodyear not BF Goodrich so they match the fronts.

Really hoping this will improve on the look of the white letters. Will post pics when it's done.
