Re: 68 S/C update.....

If he can keep a secret like I can... we're screwed!

New shoes... 4-wheel disc brakes... planning for the first 68 S/C Delorean Time Machine?

You better tell us soon or I won't have any finger nails left Rob.

, it keeps life interesting with all the projects. I'm still trying to figure the wheels out. It's a hard choice, as you well know. I've at least narrowed it down to these 3...

Re: 68 S/C update.....

definately the salt flats!! I wanted to get a set of them for my truck but could not stomach the cost and just went with the rallys. if you get the painted center one that truck would look absolutely killer!!

Re: 68 S/C update.....

I vote for the one in the big picture. But it would take away from the farm truck theme. They probably would not look good with the green window aluminum camper shell.

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Another vote for the "Bonnevilles" If you get them would you paint them to match the truck?

Only choice are 12 or 15. I would have to narrow the rearend to make the 15's work correctly....
