dinos tonight... you should be there

sorry, .. missed it, ... had to go to bed early, for a "school night", ... we would love to see you some time...

actually I was going to see if you were interested in them. A while back when I was talking about junkyarding for rims you mentioned that you were looking for some of those, although in 8" width. knowing that the mopar 5 bolt pattern is the same as early ford got me thinking & I figured those were about as close as I'd get to ford factory steels in a wider size without having some cut & welded. These rims are 15x7 (are you sure they were made in 8"?-if one measures from the outside of the lips it'll measure about 8). I got them on ebay for 127.50 & 75 shipping. I was going to see if I could get my money back via craigslist (200) but you can have 'em for 150 if you want 'em. the old finish is a little mismatched, and not as nice as the rims pictured on the ebay ad, he must sell a bunch & uses the same ad or something. If you are really set on 8" wide you can get them where I found my new 15x7 factory type steels -
wheel vintiques I ordered through summit because they had my steels in stock but if you go through jeg's you won't pay sales tax. neither will charge you shipping, but both will charge you a small handling fee.

fastback: there's pics in my "projects with four wheels" folder, but here's one:




got a good deal on it about a year before the prices went through the roof. it's a long term project (or has turned into that at least) and I want to make my mistakes on the rusty coupe first.

time to update again... hows about a drink tonight?

well, .. we a couple of friends comming over, .... want to join us?

yes, .... we should " update", .... but we are busy at the moment...
