Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)

great looking wheel! bet if someone reproduced a replacement that size they would sell a ton of them. Maybe a tiny bit thicker too.

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)

Whats the raised portion on the fuel tank for? Will it fill being above the vent on the pump flange? Looks like some extra capacity if it would. Jim

Re: 68 pro touring, auto cross c10 (mid life crisis)

I just picked up an old pedal tractor (and trailer) from my grandfathers last weekend that we all used as kids growing up. I'm 50 now...and looking forward to restoring it for my grandson.

Just found your thread and love your fab work. I'm in the middle of NASCAR country and have a great appreciation for beautiful work like that. I also like your 4-2-1 headers, what are they made for?

Thanks and keep it coming,
