Finally found my wheels
WABaja - March 14th, 2005 at 05:46 AM

Went to a Vintage swap meet today, in search of some early model spoke wire wheels for my VolksRod project..
Been looking for wheels for this car for about a year and finally had some success today with a set of 1933 Chevrolet Spoke wires...


Here's the wheels...

The yellow one Was going to be the basis for the Volksrod, but everything's for sale.... If he wants it bad enough, I'll consider selling...

Otherwise I can supply him with enough parts to build his own...

Yeahah - I'll do one like that one day... one day...

i'm liking the idea of a serious rechroming, and possible respoking for those wires. mmm.

chopped, dropped, full gloss black, with tasteful chrome bits, and ghost flames.

and supercharge the bastard :D

Bright red spoke wire wheels, probably white wall tyres and a very worked 2 litre..
