Hot Rods Did a little shopping lately:

I'm always trying to improve my trusty ol 34, five window and when something I want comes up for sale, if I have the $$$ for it I buy it. I try to buy from the HAMB classifieds as much as possible and last week I saw a pair of 8.5"X15" Americans as a fair price. Yeah, the Chinese guys make new ones but they don't have the offset I need.
The next day I found a matching pair of air cleaners for my small-top early AFBs. I've been collecting the parts I need for this dual quad Pontiac setup. The air cleaners were the perfect style for my build and after I put them on my buffing wheel with a little rubbing compound followed with some Wenol, they look much better. A LOT better than the scroungy carbs but everything will be addressed before I bolt 'em on.
Now, I gotta hit the swap meets to recoup the $$ loss.

 

Not bad. Not bad at all.

 

OUR Kind of shopping...The evolution continues...

 

Nice, I have seen those air cleaners on some Ponchos and they look good.

 

Sweet finds. It will add to a already killer ride.

 

You didn't get that stuff at the mall!

 

I was eyeballing those air cleaners myself. You helped out on my decision. Glad you got them.

 

Some days you just feel like smiling.

 

Those 5 spokes will look great on your coupe, as far as mags go they are my favorite style. HRP

 

Sorta feels like Christmas when you score some parts you needed or wanted!

 

Nice finds Rocky. First thing after starting coffee in the morning is to check the HAMB parts. Seems like some little treasure pops up almost every week.And HAMBers are the BEST to deal with.

 

Nice. As Hamb classified editor you must keep a close eye on the ads. Sounds like a dangerous job.

 

Do you have a pair for the front? Nice air cleaners, by the way.

-Abone.

 

Very cool on both accounts, Rocky!

 

Those air cleaners are Bitchin!

Not yet, Jeff....Alchemy is checking on a pair of 14s he has stashed.

 

Man that’s all good stuff!

 

Old post but I actually did find a nice pair of front wheels..........a pair of 15"X4" [cut and welded 15"X6"]. Cleaned and painted the used 15"X8.5" rear wheels and hit the centers with etching primer and then a couple coats of stainless steel paint. I like the look a lot better than the old powder coated Chrysler wires.

 

Wow. Okay that’s some future inspiration.

 

Mmmm. Could work on engine parts , rear end cover and custom interior trim .

 

Looks great @Rocky !

 

fuck yeah it does!

 

Hey rocky,
How did you clean the lips? Gray scotchbrite?

those are completely awesome. The best look ever on a hot rod in my mind

 

One of my very favorite 34s.

-Abone

 

I'm a T-T man myself.
I always appreciate seeing another nice pair.

 

Looks good!

 

I think you'll get a LOT of agreement from folks on here.

 

That stainless steel is an interesting color for those wheels, nice job
