Me and Dave always act this way. He started it though.

Apache63 · 12-31-2010, 09:02 AM

Update ...........

got new Wheels , OEM Steel Wheels in 15x7 and 15x8 with 205/75 in the Front and 225/75 in the Rear , put some Spider Caps and a Trim Ring on it !
What do you Guy´s think about the Trim Rings , did they look good or may be without the Trim Rings?

And make today the Grill from the C60 fit !
and now the same question what did you Guy´s think about it?!

I like the trim rings, but I guess it really depends on the paint color and finish of the 'burb to me.

gostranger · 12-31-2010, 09:38 AM

i like the wheels they way they are pictured and the c60 grill looks awesome it looks different = nice!!!!

jonzcustomshop · 12-31-2010, 02:26 PM

love the grille!, maybe think about flattening/rounding the corner off , bottom side under the outside headlight?
thats what I was thinking about doing with the 63 c60 grille I have.

duallyjams · 12-31-2010, 03:55 PM

One of a kine, it will be *****en no matter what color anything is.

Dinos63 · 12-31-2010, 04:07 PM

DUUUDE SIC!!! DIG THE WHEELS AND THE GRILLE

happy new year my friend

kalirodding · 12-31-2010, 11:52 PM

Looking pretty sick. Definitely leave the the trim ring. I put some on mine also. Without them, it looks like something is missing.

Apache63 · 02-14-2011, 05:14 PM

I like the grill too. What color will you paint the truck? A contrasting color on the wheels will look killer with or without the trim rings.

are you serious ? YELLOW WHEELS????????

duallyjams · 02-19-2011, 06:12 PM

Army Green gets my vote.

65stepside · 02-20-2011, 01:22 AM

I like the grille too, I did that a few years back on my 65. I wish the junkyard that I got the grille from was still around. They had dozens of 60-66's. Now its a Lowes. The C60 grille is a tight fit, but def looks good!

I was thinking the same thing after I posted it. Maybe not yellow, I was thinking more like a cream color. Just my taste. I don't care for the same color wheels as the paint on the body. But black wheels look good with green too.

AmmoSS · 02-21-2011, 12:07 AM

Nice build! You're doing a great job. I spent 5 years in Germany and never saw anything like this on the autostrada! Keep up the good work.

Apache63 · 02-27-2011, 03:03 PM

Thanks Guy´s ,

did some work on the Cluster and close another hole!

Pat

Slammed66 · 02-28-2011, 12:00 AM

Hey dude, just read this whole thread. this is one bad panel. I loooove the c60 grille in there, and the spiders and trim rings look awsome. Keep it up!!

Dinos63 · 02-28-2011, 12:10 AM

Nice work kat, pat post them a pic of what you hooked me up on!!!
