Default Lovin' it!!!

Took the jump and bought a '99 navy blue!

I can't seem to stop smiling.

Work on the rebuilding of the '77 is definitely on the back burner!!









I'm kickin' myself for not doing this sooner!!

I think they work for the appearance of the car! I like them. Easy to clean, full access to the inside barrel(?) of the wheel. I can almost do a complete suspension check through the wheels!

Thanks, you're right the rotors and calipers show quite well through those wheels! This car was spotless when I picked it up! Except for the drivers seat bolster perforation. I can almost smell that new leather smell!!

C3 is real easy on fuel right now. Hasn't used a drop of fuel since I started the body-off resto.
Check out my album.

Wheels are HD Cool Down. Deep rears. Gotta go for another photo location!

Appreciate the comments from all. Thanks for sharing my exhilaration.
