I have had these bumpers for maybe a year. They have been on the Willow Green '72 project.
 I decided since that project is on hold (moved from Kansas to Colorado and parts are in storage) I would throw the bumpers on the red '74. It is part of my plan to get the red car closer to a GT look. Flared rockers are the next addition. I have a newly chromed (real chrome) set for the '72 as it should have steel bumpers for a "near" Concours car anyway.   |

I thought it was too much with the red bumpers so the rockers/valance got painted black when I got the WAS saratoga top. OLD Picture:  |

PS your car is beautiful! Lennie, The wheels are Cragar 365 and are 4 x 100mm pattern. I'm not sure they sell that pattern anymore.  LINK to CRAGAR 365 I think I have 7" x 15" up front and 8" X 15" on the rear. I am running 215/60 front tires and 245/60 rear tires. I have no rub front or rear but less than 1/2" clearance on the rear fender well with 1/2" spacer.  You said "PS your car is beautiful!" I say "Takes one to know one!" |

I have found some Daytona's in this pattern. Are your spacers adapters? Or did you re-drill for that pattern? |
