Greg maybe it's just me, I could be losing it but I actually really like those wheels:underchair: The car is phenomenal!

Its sitting pretty ! I agree on the stance.

Greg your car looks incredible so where are you going to drive it first

ps - Would love to see pics of Vic's car ( I'm a big Edelbrock Fan )

They're super busy trying to get a 32' done for Vic Edelbrock... so there isn't much going on for my car. We just worked on a few details such as the hood side louvers... what headlights... and how I want the frame rails done. I want the lower frame rail shaped to exactly mimic the lower body line... and I've cooked up a special little treatment to the frame horns.. which isn't going to be shown here this time.

Frame horns? I thought you just wack em off and run a little nerf bar, curious to see what you have planned.

Those poor skinny rear tires are gonna take a beating! What a fun car, looks great GW.

That looks awesome! Can't wait to see this one completed :D

Ya know -- I did have it! But with all the excitement of trying to get 65' of rig thru So San Francisco traffic... and then we just got to jabberin'.... and well... pics were an afterthought... or maybe NO thought at all!

Mario -- This will have hood sides.... it will have three rows of louvers -- starting longer at the top and the next row will be shorter -- and the bottom row will be shorter still... 4" louvers.

These are just some rollers that Roy uses.... and I agree --- they're "okay" for the look. But the billet Tom Gloy wheels will be "mo betta" -- we're cuttin' 'em 5" wide up front... And the rears will have some lip on them.

Is the grey line at the bottom about right?

Yeah that would just about do it.... it's a subtle change but it just has to be done... I can't stand the two being different and it's a pretty simple "fix".

That's a very good catch and call on your part. :thumbsup:

Well shoot. I wasn't going to say anything because it looks real good and Brizio definatly knows how to put these together but...If he's going to modify the frame what do you think about pushing the front wheel forward an inch or two, maybe three?
Center of the wheel looks real good just behind the top portion of the grill. It also shows a lil more leg, err I mean front rail.

Just a thought. You can't go wrong with a shop like Brizio, he doesn't do ugly.
