Hey Tony, maybe my statement was a little misleading. I have yet to purchase another set of wheels. I haven't found any that I can't live w/o so I'm waiting until my project is closer to completion or I come to a decision I'm sure about. As of now, I only know they will be 18's and 19's.

Once finished with the bird, here's my next project. I'm going to redo my 75 chev. shorty van. It's my harley hauler for long trips.

I actually took these off and put them on my Turquoise and white Nomad -- they didn't look the same... if they did - I'd be taking you up on yours! LOL





Nice little Chevy Van Lenie. That is a killer idea for a long trip hauler.
And Greg, that 55 of yours is AWESOME looking.

Not my car guys -- I'm just putting it together for a buddy of mine. He has ZERO skills -- ZERO tools... Long story - but it was his DREAM and another buddies project... I only offered to do what they couldn't - transfer the body onto the AME chassis -- slick the firewall.... and rotate it a couple times on the rotisserie to clean the bottom etc before the transfer... oh... and make a new tranny tunnel.. and modify the trunk floor - and build the SS exhaust... THEN it was to go to my buddies house/shop - where they'd do all the rest... that was TWO YEARS ago - and nothing got touched. I mean NOTHING. So I rescued the project... brought it back to my shed and will now finish it up. Seems some guys eyes are bigger than their skill set.

Now - since all of this occurred... Rick (owner) had a MAJOR stroke - so will never drive the car... and in his current state - wouldn't even know it was his. But I'll still enjoy putting it all back together - and if I can - take him out for a ride in it.

Sorry about your friend, Rick. Very nice of you to finish it for him and eventually take him out for an occasional cruise!! Very nice of you .

Greg, if you need help keeping the tires round on your cars you have my number.

And if you would like a hand on Ricks car please call anytime. I'd be happy to jump in on whatever I can.
