He made them on an english wheel, its in his build thread. I agree, the hood is pretty cool, something different, but not too far out.

Holy hell, I just got a stiffy.

You,ve done one hell'uva job, Kid.
This thread might go down in history as the only one not having negative respons, despite the obvious opportunity in the enginebay.

Top notch.
Now, on with the spec-sheet

Wheel/rubber setup! backspacing?

Looks GREAT, your car is wonderful. How's the V8 sound through the can?

He hardly had any posts to begin with, I don't think he spends much time here anymore. Too bad too, I like seeing builds like this with lots of metal work and restoration...

Hah, yeah... I'm kinda anxious to learn about the wheel setup...

Hopefully he sticks around.

Edit: Durr... I should have looked a little better, as stated in his other thread: "My wheels are 15X8 with 225/50 and they come out ot be 1/2 taller over all than stock. Backspace is about 5 inch or +15mm offset so they have a nice lip."
