I wish my 55 looked like it used to too. It is a very nice car And when you are done with it I am sure it will look like that again.

At least you still HAVE the car. My '70 SX is long gone, as well as the 2 rare snapshots of it. I can only hope it has new life somewhere after 28 years of MIA. Have fun with your project.

What direction are you moving in? I'm south of you down in Medford Oregon and have a car with relatively rust free quarter panels I'm considering parting out. John

i love the first picture posted... i really remember those slotted mags in the 60's and 70's. AR makes an inexpensive one to consider:

yes mine is color #67 sienna poly...mom put those wheels on it right after she bought it..i never have liked them...they were 14x7 anyways and dont clear the disk brakes i put on it. i got weld wheels cheap. when i buy new wheels again im leaning toward the weld rodlite..looks similar to the slots but better in my eyes...nice car!
