I have the same wheels for my '69 Charger but in 18". They are sweet and the price is right!

Wow! Just finished reading this EPIC thread!!
It was quite the cliffhanger but it looks like all the grief and money will turn out quite a show truck!

Ronnie,
I live in Snellville and a friend of mine from Sunday School years ago (Ken Weilbrenner) used to have the shop next door to yours (Southern Automotive).

I can't wait to get started on my 61 rust bucket that I recently bought from a friend in Grayson!
http://i769.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps98b181fa.jpg
You have inspired me but also have sobered me to the fact that it's going to take a lot of work and probably more years than it took you!

Take care!
Tony

Wow, that's a nice-sized shop! Is that '69 Firebird convertible a real T/A? If so, that is RARE Bird! I think they made 8 total, if I recall.

The truck looks great, and the wheel choice is excellent. I like the brushed finish on the wheels.

Also put on new Pro Form 750 DP with a 1" spacer......... New valve covers, got to love these heads (roller rockers with short valve covers great design).........New high flow powdered coated water pump and alternator brackets with new pulley setup, waiting on my new power steering kit to show up.........As you can notice one header is gone, had to have one new tube fabricated, number 3 spark plug hit tube because of the angle plug heads, then it's off to be Hot Jet coated againnnnnnnn.......

Hope to start it up next week ;)
