I picked up these American Racing wheels today and threw them on. I like them but I need to figure out the model so I can get center caps. And the 225 tires are too stuffed.

I spoke to him over the phone a few days ago and he sounds like a helpful guy.

I found a nice surprise in the trunk. Getting the brakes right may not be as expensive as expected.

Ha! Nice things to find in the trunk! I bet there are stories out there about "the best thing you ever found in the trunk of your Roadster." This looks like a pretty good start!

Plus the grille, while somewhat rusty, looks to be in very good condition.

I didn't see a ding on it, pretty excited for that. I wonder how much rechroming will be, or maybe I should just paint it. I might paint the headlight bezels too, rusty and the passenger side has a ding that I'd have to massage out.

Please take the money you are going to save on the brakes and get the trim re-chromed. You won’t be sorry!
