Then maybe you'd run the original wheels.

My car does have the original wheels! I have the original window sticker and it has Rader wheels right on it as an option  I never noticed how much my Avatar looks like Uzi's. |

thanks for the comments, guys.
more pictures will follow when the "new" engine is installed and some little things are done.
car is not for sale at the moment, first i want to have some fun with it, this season.
@uzi: patina split is the way to go, but only when you have real patina.
your split is also realy cool, i love it, i think your patina is much better than mine!!!!!!!
@johnny: i can not wait to see your split when it is ready. perhaps i come to the usa next year for the classic week, perhaps then i can see it live and in action! |
