check out the 59 BelAir mooooooore door i found for Pinball. the guy was checkin out my 47 Chev one day and told me about a 38 and 59 four doors he was sellin. so after Pinball decided he liked the 59 4 doors we went and looked, and DAMN was it SOLID!!! 61,000 original miles on the 235 sixer and powerglide auto.it needs a split exhaust and 1x2 fur sure! gonna make a great family truckster for the Tower clan. he's got some plans for this one and i'll make sure to keep him on track and not let him screw it up http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif....

Why can't someone abandon something cool like that in my garage? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

The Spider mags are pretty rare. If I remember right, they are very late 60'-early 70's vintage. Neat wheels on a neat car...

[/ QUOTE ]I found it on a site with a bunch of pin up art, Shannanigan.com.I was thinking of using an old pin up but I could'nt find one small enough. The one I used was the small shot that you click on to see the full size pic. He is actually on an old hot rod with the big shifter .I liked the small version though so I used it.

Motor Wheel Spyders are cool old wheels, yes, they were late 60s/early70s, i forget teh year for sure. There is a 57 Ford in a storage yard here that has a full set of em. It has been parked there for over 20 years! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I bought a 65 vette in 1975 that had a set of those wheels....they went in the dumpster immediately....thought they were the ugliest wheels EVER made!!! Still think they suck. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I have a set of those Motor Wheel Spiders. I know that they're kinda rare, but they're not really suited to the kind of cars that I like. They look all right on that Caliente or maybe on '76 Trans Am. I'm using them for rollers on my '58 Ford at the moment.

That '59 Chevy looks to be a pretty nice heap.

yeah, once it's on the road it should help remove Pinball from his current "wannabe" status http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif...
