The steel wheel thing with dog dish hubcaps is so overdone. A fresh set of old school Cragar S/S wheels would look great and be period correct!

I agree, but cragars are kinda overdone too, I mean they’re a beautiful wheel they’ve withstood time very well, but I prefer keystones. The thing is though, you have a charger, any wheel looks good!

The lady on the left in the picture above is the same little girl from my 1st post, the original owner's daughter. The lady in the middle is the original owner's wife, who was kind enough to share her memories and the old paperwork. The gentleman on the right is the original owner's brother in law. He is married to the sister of the original owner's wife. They all remember the car well and were amazed that it had been around for all these years. I wanted to make sure they were able to see it before I leave.

And that's that. I had a neighbor help with the hood today and I put a battery hold down on it. I still need to get someone to help for a little while to bleed the brakes but they hold alright and I can load it. The rest will have to wait.

Awesome, the memories, the good times, the stories, that’s what these cars are about. :thumbsup:

The car looks great! Especially the ZZ Top bumper sticker!


I’m getting centerlines, or cragar vibes for the car. It definitely has that awesome 70s vibe.

That's awesome that they got to see the car before you moved! Nice work! Good luck with the move.
