Update ...........

got new Wheels , OEM Steel Wheels in 15x7 and 15x8 with 205/75 in the Front and 225/75 in the Rear , put some Spider Caps and a Trim Ring on it !
What do you Guy´s think about the Trim Rings , did they look good or may be without the Trim Rings?

I like the trim rings, but I guess it really depends on the paint color and finish of the 'burb to me.

love the grille!, maybe think about flattening/rounding the corner off , bottom side under the outside headlight?
thats what I was thinking about doing with the 63 c60 grille I have.

Looking pretty sick. Definitely leave the the trim ring. I put some on mine also. Without them, it looks like something is missing.

I like the grill too. What color will you paint the truck? A contrasting color on the wheels will look killer with or without the trim rings.

I like the grille too, I did that a few years back on my 65. I wish the junkyard that I got the grille from was still around. They had dozens of 60-66's. Now its a Lowes. The C60 grille is a tight fit, but def looks good!

I was thinking the same thing after I posted it. Maybe not yellow, I was thinking more like a cream color. Just my taste. I don't care for the same color wheels as the paint on the body. But black wheels look good with green too. :mm:

Nice build! You're doing a great job. I spent 5 years in Germany and never saw anything like this on the autostrada! Keep up the good work.
