Hello All! Thanks for all your encouraging words and support throughout this build in particular to Steve @aany001. He can surely build them and proud he can add an A-Body to his list of protouring builds. Connect with me if you'd like on IG @gedagrip66. This forum is still a great resource and source of fellowship...

All is done (well never done), except body, paint and glass...but I'm going to drive her for a good while till then.

All the best with your builds!

Joe

Great looking car! Congrats on a job well done & sticking w/it through life's challenges. I like the current wheels more than previous versions. They just fit the original intended theme 'better' (my perspective).
Same sizes I assume?

Thank you Scott! Yes, I agree... just a basic but timeless set of vn215's and a conservative 18x8 front and 18x9 rear until the body work/tub happens. Then I'd like to go a Forgeline Heritage type set-up or a Weld S71. So for now, off to work I go lol...

Interesting you say this, I will in the end go either white, black or a rich deep red such as Mark S. PPG Salsa Red on his 69'...decisions, decisions...

Thank you...

Man, those Torq Thrusts in gray look soooo nice against the white!
If I were you I’d leave those wheels be and spend that money elsewhere.

If you do splurge, keep the TT’s to swap out. IMHO, you nailed it with those.

Car is looking good! I, too, like the TT's. At least you're is driveable,even if not finished. I'm still miles away from that stage with my Malibu. Thanks for sharing and motivating!

Much appreciated JD! If anything when I shorten the diff, will go an 18×10 with a 285 or 295 tire in the rear and call it a day👍
