That will never happen. cigarettes are disgusting and I'm not some costume wearing poser.

Q: for ya- what size are the holes that are drilled in the 18" steel rims? I 'think' they may match up to my Dodge 20" steelies for a rubber rake while allowing a little bit of tire to be mounted. <fingers crossed>

[wedged]

the holes in the rims are 1.30" .

Thanks!

I agree that keeping the patina will be tres cool. You can't recreate that.

Boxed the small section of dakota frame that was not boxed. This made the entire frame a whole lot more rigid. I'll probably add some gussets to the corners where the rear half meets the cross member once I put the loop and the exhaust ports into the cross member. The piece of green box tube is just temporary. the trans tailshaft is resting on it and it also kept the rails the correct distance apart.

are those front wheels the ones you'll be using? personally i think a larger diameter wheel would look better and match the rear nicely. style is on point though.
