In particular, the 2.0 variety. Kinda thinking about it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Pics would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks Gents,

Nathan, that gives a good representation, thanks. Miley, where'd you get the center caps?

Thanks,

Joe

I like what you did there mikey63. I am preping right now. This shot is after I did the #80 sand blast. I plan to polish the raised leafs and rim and paint the rest a little darker silver than the original.

Back in '80-85 my 1st six, signal orange car, had the Fuchs backgrounds painted to match the car. Looked good then -I would not do that now.

I used a pin stripe brush and rotated the wheel as I painted. Blacked out wheels with a red stripe would be cool.

Mike,

Subtle. I like the orange line on the rim. Kind of brings out or highlights the orange of the car. Peeeerty! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Can you put up a pic of your car; even without the wheels?

Here are mine right after I got them refinished. L96M, Marathon Blue Metallic. I have now converted to 5 lug, so these are for sale (with correct lug bolts and center caps).
