Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

Those wheels fit the truck style much better than the set before. Fantastic!

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

Thanks guys. I like these so much better.The others wheels were nice but the truck needed to be lowered a lot more than I have it to make them look right. The other wheels I got on trade and thought I might make them work but Don gave me the bug when he showed these wheels on his build. I just could not do without them.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

It will be charcoal gray to match under the hood. I am also painting the door panels and the rear inner fenders charcoal gray. Maybe it will look ok.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

Thanks guys. Chad that thing is so light in the rear it will hardly backup the hill in the shop. I am going to have to get on the stick if I plan on driving it to Clems.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

plenty of time... not to worry.
its more important to keep the quality high and stay the course.

besides, worst case, roll her up on a trailer and hang out with us. the workmanship you've done will show how nice this truck is.
