The fronts had white walls but had then swapped to the inside . If there were 4 I would have left them but I wasn't going to ride around on just 2,

but needs that filler behind the rear bumper put back on.

oh,and maybe some rallies.

I have a filler in good condition but just havnt had the time to get it painted but I will . Got a good lead on a set of rallies for $200 that need paint , I just have to go check them out . I'm assuming $200 is a good price ?

here in ohio 25 a wheel,than caps are like 20 or so each,rings vary per style.

you would be alot happier with the look if you bought 8" wheels. i know i was on my 73 MC.

just ask Mr Hendrix.......he put some 8s on his 76 monte.

I dig the hubcaps & the look.

Don't give into the peer pressure for rally's jocolor

I must admit I'm liking the hubcaps now they are on . I've always liked rallies though but never had a car to put them on .

Yeah, unfortunately now you've entered the "worry" period: you spend all your time worrying about what idiot is going to scratch or dent it and ruin all the hard work and expense you just went through.

Yea I'm pretty much that way with any of my vehicles . I have an 88 one ton ex army truck with dents and scratches all over it that I've not washed in 3 years and I still park in the most remotest spot there is .

OMG @ that Walmart post...no wonder we're in the mess we're in as a species. Those freaks of nature are making the case for euthanasia.

Agreed. Sometimes I'm convinced we're not so much evolving as we are DEvolving.

And by "sometimes" I mean "constantly".

by magic marouke Wed Oct 02, 2013 9:58 am

for right now ive decided to keep the hub caps unless an amazing deal on some rallys comes up . i'll be keeping an eye out and theres swap meets .

Just my advice,I dont know if there are a lot of old cars where you live so its common to see them ,whatever.But if you are parking it in the same remote location everyday,put a kill switch in it so it cant be stolen.

I second that...you've put a lot of work into it, I'd hate to see something happen too & that goes for everyone one here with a finished car(s).

Yea I see your point . I actually put kill switches on all my vehicles
When I lived in England due to the extremely high crime rate there . Havnt bothered so much now I'm out in the Okie sticks . There is near to zero crime but I have been planning to put one on the car just incase right
