Looking good!

I believe those to be the "L-88", or "factory" flares. There are also the aftermarket "Greenwood" flares that were sold through Ecklers...

Hell..those wheels are nice :-) Just a note though, those rear 18 x 12's are one off's, not something Vintage Wheel Works sells.

Toughest thing about wheel flairs is filling that space up with tire!

I got some pretty wide wheels on mine, for this car, anyway, and they hardly stick out at all on the rear. hate to think how much wheels would cost that could fill those flairs.
