started pulling it apart
going with the "daisy" style 5 spokes. since their from a car, i have to make my own rims. my 14b does'nt have a cover, so making that too.
on the plus side, found some calipers & rotors i can adapt, so one less thing to make

couple rims done. will start modifying the frame tomorrow. also found a tunnel ram, hmmm... that 283 might have a hard time spinning them new tires.
my son also just gave me the usa-1 monster truck in the background. seeing how i already have one, i'm thinking using the tires on my '58 cameo, ala skoal bandit style, or my '69 el camino, ala chevelle in a china shop dorito's commercial style
