i have nitto nt05 rear 315/20, front 275/19. the wheels i hope are forgeline zx3p's 20x11 and 19x9.5 with gunmetal centers with polished rims. should look cool on a black truck with all the stock trim.

n2billet, thanks! those pics kept me up all night. i was toying with baby blue and white but black looks tough. and i did the blue and white thing a couple years ago on a bike.

here was the other combo i was going to use. my buddies busted on me when i told them what color i was using. they were not picking anymore when it was done.

My wife will not let me near bikes anymore.......it seems when I throw my leg across the seat I turn into a different person.......or it could be the time I laid down and ended up in the hosiptal for 5 days....
I could stand and look at the bike for hours.....

68 wheel from hartrod showed up just before lunch. couple hours and back out the door to the steering wheel guy in nc. shrunk the od. to 15 5/8". same as my late model. this will get bondoed up and used as a mold to pour a new one.

[72k5zl1]

[67cheby]

Ya what he said !!! well i think if you are going to produce them , they will be a big hit !!! nice work as usual

[72k5zl1]

thanks! they are spendy!!!! have to talk to my guy when he is done with the first one.

[VA72C10]

Once you get it done are you going to have multiples made?

Seems like a vendor opportunity

well...my question was answered...

[HulkSmash]

Man that thing is looking cool. I really like that cup idea you are doing with the rear suspension.

[72k5zl1]

headed back to shop now. building a frame jig to raise the rear 3". excited about the rear !

Late model huh? Between all the brake/hub/rotor/suspension parts, I kinda figured....

So what class/series do you run? I've been racing for years, mostly IMCA dirt modifieds, but I ran the Southwest Tour in 07, USAC Western Sprints in 08.

I've got a super late model for sale if you're interested

Just curious. I like the "personality" of your build!

[68 TT]

Great idea. I like the look of the older steering wheels but don't care for the school bus diameter they have. Keep up the great work.

[72k5zl1]

i dont race, cant afford both. my wifes family are dirt modified people. and one of her uncles is a retired cup car driver. i do help chase a class 8 truck in the score series a few weekends a year.

[67chevy1series]

if the price is right my dad would probably love to get a shortened 67 68 steering wheel
