I absolutely need to find one of those caps for this rig.

And thanks for the encouragement....been going back and forth with what I want to do with the driveline, specifically because it needs to be smog-legal, but I've settled on it looking pretty much the way it came off the lot; b.e. mirrors, painted bumpers, stock color. About the only thing changing will be the 16.5 wheels. Would love to have 16" steelies and the poverty caps, but for whatever reason, Wheel Vintiques doesn't make them in white. Buying them powder coated makes them significantly more expensive and still heavier than a regular ol' set of aftermarket aluminum wheels, so I'll likely be throwing on a set of AR62's to keep it period-correct.
