Pictures

Here are some neat pictures my wife took of the Le Mans and the rattle trap '27. You need to click on each photo to get the full effect; I think they came out wonderfully! The '65 Le Mans is wearing its "new" wheels...and I love them! I think I am completely sold on Rally I's now. I pulled these wheels from a neat '64 GTO project car that I picked up last year and proceeded to have the wheels sandblasted, then painting them with Valspar DTM epoxy primer, followed by Valspar base/clear in an Argent Silver. The center caps showed these were '66 or later Rally I wheels because they had the inner circle unpolished and painted semi gloss black. After LOTS of stripping and hours of polishing with both the die grinder and the big buffer they turned out smooth and shiny. I then chose the thin whitewall radials ( I was too cheap to order bias ply, even though they would look even better) and had them mounted. The wheels look perfect on this car!



Here is the '27, with that gaping hole between the body and frame. It is part of this car's character...stop laughing! The wife's picture of this car really turned out nice; I like the lighting and the full profile.
