Slot lovers unite!
I've seen several posts lately where opinions on vintage style aluminum slotted mags (AKA; ansen sprints) were expressed. I understand why some folks consider them too old school, or dated, but I grew up seeing these things on just about everything moving. When I was a kid, they were a constant in the pages of the Hot rod magazines. Therefore I blame my inordinate affection for these old wheels on my raising. I guess my parents should have kept me away from my uncles' race cars and garage. Oh well. I've had several sets on all sorts of vehicles and loved the way they looked on them all. So Now I have a 68 short stepside with 6 lug axles, and just picked up a set of old jeep wheels that are made just like slots. I also have another set that are newer and have the clear coating that needs to be removed, so I'll be using these for now. They were pretty bad to start with but with a little elbow grease, they are coming around. Hope to get the tires mounted up this week and then on the truck.
So If you have slots and please post your pics in a show of solidarity.
