Painted the bars and reinstalled. Looking forward to testing them out Saturday night!
A friend commented that it kinda killed the sleeper vibe, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice. Besides, they are a bolt-on modification that can easily be reversed.
I think it looks great! May I ask about your wheels? Did you have a set widened? Just curious about how you are using steelies that wide with the larger dog dish caps. Great thread! Like I said, I'm stealing some ideas and am doing a similar build on my 65. Trying to go as fast as possible without needing a roll bar on street tires, full exhaust, etc.
The fronts are A100 15x4's rear are 15x8 Wheel Vintiques. The rim and openings are identical on both wheels. I simply epoxied a smaller Chrysler dog dish cap inside two larger, earlier caps for the rear! I used PC-7 epoxy.
Besides, they are a bolt-on modification that can easily be reversed.
