Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

On a darker 61, I am a huge fan of chrome reverse wheels. On white ones, I would match the interior color. But on yours, the paint matched wheels are just fine.

We thought of chrome reverse as we have a set on our 56 Chevy, but with the disc brakes added and drop spindles its pushed the wheels out far enough that you can run a truly "deep" front wheel. Would have to go back to all drum brakes and dont really want to do that. Luckily had on the shelf the front wheels as they are 14" of a early 70s Chevy to fit disc brakes. I have a couple different dog dish caps or a set of "crossbar" 4 bar caps just like the ones in the old photos of my grandpa's original 61 he bought new.

Moons and, maybe, trim rings. Don't want to cover those purdy wheels completely.

One of my favorite cars, for sure....
