Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
Yes. Love the new wheel and tire combo. What make are the wheels? Where did you buy them?

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
Are you leaving the caps solid white or putting the red ring and bowtie back on?

Re: '68 Patina Short Wide
I love the fade on the grill and bumper! Did you buy the heater block off plates or make them?
