New Shoes on the Cutlass

Amazing what sport mirrors and SSIIs will do to the look of a car (and a cleaning). Thanks Scott (oldspackrat) for the help.

What's also interesting to me is how much nicer the tires look. Much wider and seem to fill up wheel wells better but they are the same tires, just flipped with whitewalls facing in.

It's amazing how much more the car pops with the SSII wheels on it.

That is a result of going from a 6" wide wheel to a 7"

Yep

Just rust oleum off the shelf, up close there is a difference, 5 feet away good enough. Love working on this car.

I was wondering if that was what made the difference but they look taller too which I think is because of the black wall. Doesn't amtter looks like a whole different car!
