Don,

Got any particulars on how you did the N/66 wheels? Did
you use rattle cans? Did you use painting masks?

The wheels where glass beeded than epoxy primed. Than we sprayed with our own mixed silver, than masked each wheel by hand (thows masking kit's make it harder to make look nice) than centers are sprayed a custom mix that we made from a set of unrestored org wheels. Than they are cleared with a matt clear. They really do come out nice this way.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I will post more pics. later in the week. To answer your question Tom, it is an L34. During all this drama in the past, the customer was able to buy an original complete L78 removed from another Chevelle which we will install. Hence the reason for the single 3/8 fuel line. I can't say I agree with this but he claims he will NEVER sell this car and wants it built his way. It sure is hard for us to do being the original L34 is as complete as the day he bought the car. What can I say, "the customer's always right". Aren't they?????
