CRIKEY!!!!!

I have to say, they do look good - and - yellow!!!!

Dare I ask (not being familiar with your car) what car are they going on and what colour is it?

I like them

They're going on a '74 Satellite , its got slot mags on at present (hate them) the eventual plan is to have the car sprayed plum crazy along with the wheels . But for now after spending the last year or so digging the rust out I'll just spray it myself to stop it rotting any more and to make it look half decent , plus the powdercoating was free

, I hope to have it back on the road in about a month, so I hope to see at some shows this year

Firstly, the wheels are going in the loft until the car is yellow ,and Ive made the hardwood wedges to remove dog dishes, thanks Clivey , secondly it has just occured to me that when this car was up for sale (dream

cars ) ,you lot were gossiping about it , anyone know any history WHJ393M, tyreman ? you seem to know the car, I now know I should have joined before buying as I took on quite a bit of work with this car ( hindsight , great ) though I like a challenge ,lastly I got three enquries agout the slot mags two lanes being the earliest , so I'll pm ya when I've checked out the width dims cheers Doug

I thought I recognised it. I was going to look at that, with the intention of buying it. Wasn't it for sale for some time, with those guys? How is the car?

Well it's your car and all that but.....

Personally I don't like any hubcaps on anything, and the painted steel thing is a difficult look to pull off IMO.

Well Simon the car will be fine soon .I had it on the road for a short while until I realised that there were major rust issues and if didn't sort them I'd be wasting my time. Somebody in its past had done some serious bodgery to hide the rot , most of which are now sorted ie solid metal not pieces of fridge and mastic ,and I realise that it will cost me more than its worth ,but when its eventually done me the missus and the sprogs will enjoy it, and I will have saved an entry level mopar to pass on to some one who wants mopar but can't afford a Challenger/Charger/'cuda etc. And Blue

but what? if your going to tell me it was a rusty bucket of you know what and I shouldn't have touched it with someone elses barge pole well I've kind of realised that, but it is mine and I'm going to stick at it, and maybe one day some of you guys will tell me I've done well

praise indeed!
