Here's the last of them.

Good plan Falcon! The removable section on the engine cover should make things a lot more accesible! That big old Oldsmobubble should fit right in there now!

Thanks, guys! It was warm here for January; about 45 degrees so I didn't have to run the shop heater too much. It's moving right along, I'm still hoping for a spring launch.

I too like the idea of the extra door, your thinking on your feet falcon, and getting some work in. It's nice not to have to run a heater so much huh?

Yeah, after two weeks of highs in the teens, 40+ degrees feels pretty good. How about yourself, Brick? You been feeling well enough to get out in the garage?

Got the side pieces started; now I have to find someone with a brake big enough to bend a 5 foot piece of 16 gauge.

Falcon what is your name ?? You just do some tremendous work when you get going . Some service work guy going into business will be happy with this one when you sell it .

You bet Falcon, I went up and dusted the old girl off this afternoon. I pulled the fuel tank to put in a new sending unit. It started raining so I'll finish her in the am and then take her for a spin, its been 10 months since I have heard her run so I am excited.

Right on, Brick. I'll bet it will feel great to back behind the wheel again. Bobby, I'll send you a PM with my contact info.

What do you guys think of these?

I do to falcon, they kind of remind you of the old grey spoke wheels with the aluminum outer rim, very cool.

I kinda like the Torque Thrust look myself . Falcon what are they 16.5s finding anything in this size is a chore .

No, it's a 15". They're a 5x5.5 pattern with a 4.25" center. The only thing I can find with those specs are 4WD wheels and I'm just not finding many that I like. It's the big center that seems to be the sticking point. I wanted a stock steel wheel with a baby moon but nobody makes them with that big center unless you special order and pay. I'm still looking...
