Falf's 55

Well I have a lot planned for it over this next year. I still never finished my 265 build, life has continued to get in the way but I have been collecting parts for the engine and the car. I snagged a complete 60 Olds rearend, 15x8.5 and 15x7 200S wheels, a bolt on glass truck lid and a unique bolt on glass hood. The hood is interesting because it is an original two layer mold with the Thunderbolt hump laid up in it as it was made, not grafted on. I am trying to find out who made it, it is a quality made piece. It is a little beat up but I snagged it for $50 so I can't complain !

That's cool, Hell of a deal!

Glad you kept the car all these years. "Those satisfactions are permanent!"

Well, I wasn't planning on buying these but a friend sent me a link. I bought these American Racing 200S wheels 15x8.5 wheels Chevy pattern for 250 bucks. I already had the finished ones and the 15x7's you see but the finished one have a 5 inch bolt pattern for my 60 Olds rear end. Now I will polish up the new ones and run them with my current rear end until the other is set up. I can't lose at 250 for a pair of these wheels. The darker 15x7's are actually Rockwell wheels but to my luck, I can still see the 1974 manufacture stamp and these wheels have never been used. Car is going to have a big TLB vibe with something a bit different since I got to talk with Richard Ruth himself. I will update as I go along.
