Yuppers. 15x8's, 5 rims, 4 centers, 4 trims for 100.00 :metal:

Re: And so it begins................
 
As for the panel woodgrain, I wasn't as happy with it as I wanted to be. Everywhere I checked told me that the original style aluminum inserts had been discontinued so I ordered these from LMC. They're actually plastic and not a perfect fit. However, they still cost 150.00!!! :sumo:

Interior is lookin better and better.

JohnC 05-14-2009 05:07 PM

Re: And so it begins................
 
You should have said something. It's nothing to look at inside though. No carpet, or headliner, and the seat is just one out of a 88-94 chevy.

:lol: I think maybe you're out of my league. I'm not a body man so I don't know how much I could do for ya. I know I'm gonna take a break on mine for a while. The interior is good enough for now, I've dropped about 2500.00 in it the first 2 months I've had it and like I said, I'm not an expert with the paint/body work which is what needs to be done next. So, I might come by and hold a flashlight for ya Scott! :metal: :lol:
