Winged wheel rack

I know it almost seems sacrilegious, indignant or even arrogant, but I couldn't help it. There's a charm/calmness to having a car that you don't have to worry about breathing on let alone scratching. Though I did put the rims on there very very carefully. poweder-coated black inside, argent silver outside.

Always makes me think with a little work that could be made to look really good. Thats why I have a beater SUV as a daily driver and not a classic......Tedd

So Steven, what exactly are your plans for that 442? Appears to be a W30 according to that black side stripe. Too bad that deck lid is so rusted. How's the rest of the car?

It runs like a champ, I just need to get a new starter on it and get the tarp off the driver seat . Some rust spots, decklid (and rear package tray) is the worst of it. It will be my bad weather summer driver - it drives awesome, I love it, yep a documented W30 that I don't need to worry about scratches on.

Who really buys calendars for the numbers???
Even the calendar the Big JERR made, I think 99.99% of the guys who bought it did so for the pics. I love pics. Especially the ones that show nicely curved or sculpted body lines with great tones and colors. Take that however you like....
