Hey guys.

Well, to make a long story very short, the car has been up at my house for a few days. So I took advantage and put my Cragar SS caps on (to replace old american Racing ones that were on them), paint the calipers and drum casings black, paint the trunk bottom black, and a few other tid bits, washed it, and threw dice vale caps on in place of the old chrome ones. I also threw my CB and antenna on. Just lettin' you guys see a little progress. Here's some pics.

The CB installed under the dash where the ashtray goes. Quite convenient.

After a little scrub-a-dub a few days ago. When it was actually nice out. notice the CB antenna on the top.

looks great love the ss's they are the best wheel for almost any rwd car/truck. Just wondering what antenna you are going to use for the cb?Trunk mount, K-40, wilson, etc...? Or do you have one of those radio anntena adapters?

Well, right now, I just have an antenna base that I bought at Wal-Mart, then I put on a bigger antenna that I found around my house. That's the set-up until I find a better one. And it's a compact Cobra CB transmitter as well.

Luckily, we don't have Cragars everywhere around us. Usually they just put them on old like '57 Bel Aires and stuff like that. Real classic sh*t. But I got these for a deal I couldn't pass by. At all.
