Since I had the wheel and camera handy, here's the front.

Those honking big rotors look good in there. It almost looks like a car again. 😀

looks killer! so were they just a one off prototype you got or did someone finally start making these? only manufacturer i have found was US Mags

 

[oldsofb]

US Mags does make that wheel. Canon_Mutant has a thread with multiple pics of it.

A guy on another forum made the CAD program and made a prototype and 4 more centers. He was going to try and produce them. It didn't work out, and since we had been conversing back and forth about it, I made him an offer. He's talked about trying again, but nothing yet.

You stood there and made varoom noises didn't ya Hutch? Come on, admit it. Those are going to look sa-weet.
As some of you already know, the last time I got in mine and did that, my headliner came loose and fell down on my head while I was sitting there . . . [sadly a true story]

Confession time. I have a second G-Body I've been working on. I've kept it a secret for a while. Doing a frame up on this one too.

Here's some pics

Glad to get that off my chest. The body still needs some work and then paint and stripes, but it's coming along.
