I'm helping a guy build a pretty bad ass 29 sedan,a just built fresh banger, chopped top, full fenders, not yet installed 18 in wires, a lot of things to personalize it .. We are wanting to see some pics of model a's on 18 inch wires...
Here is what we starting with :

Anyone know what this dash is from?

The gauge cluster and speedometer look like about 1936 or 1937 Ford. Try posting a close up of the faces on fordbarn and asking. Leave the rest of the dash out of the picture.

im workin on this,, 18" ers on the rear and 16 on front.. big ol transport tires on rear
speedway V8 caps wheels all powdercoated.. I dont like new wires with the nuts on them

 

Damn that's cool looking with the different wheels

That looks great. I particularly like the smoothed out head. You use a die grinder for that?

 

Die grinder as a 3m sanding pad. Then lots of sanding and wet sanding

16 fronts 18 rears

i'll do it again on my current car too

 

Looking good!

 

What kind of center caps are on the black coupe? Anyone know

Looks like polished Sellers caps to me.

 

17's front, 18's rear. It's a real freeway flyer. The rear tires are 30" tall.

 

keep them coming.

great examples of how awesome wire wheels can look.

 

What are the common and common sizes of this basic style of wire wheels? I like tall and skinny. And what about the inner hub flange and disc brakes? Know what I mean, Vern?

 

The caps on the black coupe look like plain versions of the Cragars that So-Cal carries. The "wings" are larger than on Sellers' caps.




O'Brien Truckers carries a lot of Steve Sellers' products including the Veda and plain spinner caps.

Hi, I got the center caps from my friend Don Stevens in AZ, he had them with Cragar script or plain.
I don't know who makes them, sorry!
