Bolted On Some Original....
Painted center Crager SS's that were purchased in the mid 70's. Fronts are reverse 14x6 and rear 14x10
I know I do not post on the board very much but I absolutely love the day 2 items and wanted to share a little of mine. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../CragerSS1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../CragerSS2.jpg |
Re: Bolted On Some Original....
Those rims are awesome.....I love the rears!
Thanks for sharing, Kurt |
Re: Bolted On Some Original....
Always loved the look of Crager SS since the first day I saw them. I've got them on my 66 Nova straight axle.

Re: Bolted On Some Original....
Thanks. It has a little sentimental value to it all as well. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Bolted On Some Original....
Tuff lookin' Camaro and Nova going on here!
|
Re: Bolted On Some Original....
Love the color, will run it by my little guy Danny - he wants his '67 RS to be 'blue'!
|
Re: Bolted On Some Original....
With the bias ply raised outline white letters, big reverse offset in the rear, etc, etc, that car really takes me back to high school in the 1980s. You really nailed the look!!
|
Re: Bolted On Some Original....
Wow, that wheel/tire size combo is exactly how I remember the cars looking back in the day. Very nice.
|
Re: Bolted On Some Original....
What do you mean by painted center? Just the lug pockets, or the whole center section?
|
Re: Bolted On Some Original....
Sorry I meant the lug pockets.. Wrong wording.
|
Re: Bolted On Some Original....
I love it!
Tunnel ram and velocity stacks would look killer sticking through the hood. |

Re: Bolted On Some Original....
That Camaro is flat out 70's coolness.

Re: Bolted On Some Original....
They are a little dirty but you get the idea.

Tunnel ram and velocity stacks would look killer sticking through the hood. </div></div> In this case the old saying "less is more" comes into play. Car looks good like it is IMO. Reminds me of the "high school" style of cars I remember back in the late 70's. Very simple mods, clean, not gaudy. |

Only other thing I plan on doing is either stripping down the traction bars & painting them another color (not sure which would look good) or making my own bars and having them chromed. Not sure yet what I will do. |

Re: Bolted On Some Original....
Bruce,
The neighborhood looks like the ones here in Tustin, Orange. Just curious, where did you live at the time of the photo? Regards, Jim |
Re: Bolted On Some Original....
Marina Blue is lighter.
