Getting work done, should I...... (removing granny chrome)

Yea... forenote, mine will no longer be black once I repaint it...

Bet you're wondering now, lol.

If it helps any, you've never seen an LTD this color before... but that's after I'm done with school. And the new paint is coming with new rims, lol.

You're gonna get rid of those rims? It think they look badass on your car myself. Do they make those in a 4 bolt pattern so they fit Fox body Mustangs?

Yes, you can find them for about anything...IF you can find them.

Yea, they're hard to find. I got mine out of my uncle's old barn/shed up in the loft, lol. The rear wheels had 245/70's on them when I got 'em!!

It'll be a long while before I get around to getting new wheels, but by then my opinion may change, lol.

It'll just be really hard to find any others with the backspacing like these...

I got first dibs on 'em if you sell 'em! Unless someone already did, then I'll have to kill them...no matter. :evil:

Alright, lol, you got first dibs, lol. But at the rate I'm at... with all the other things I want done... it'll be about 2 years, haha.

Shit... might as well just keep 'em, lol.

I've already waited over 6 years for a set. I have 2 15x9's now.

Get rid of the granny trim, and that god-forsaken vinyl top too!

[88Vic]

Aren't those just American Racing Ansen Sprints? They look like those. Oh well, if I have the money i'll just get AMR's since they look so similar.

A lot of different companys made aluminum slots.

The story behind the rims... my senior year my uncle said he had some rims in his shed/barn at his house (since I was looking for a used set), and if I wanted them, all I'd have to do is give him what I had on the Murphmobile (my '84) in trade, after I bought new tires for the slots. They had 245/65's on the back and 225/70's on the front, lol. Yes, the rears fit in the fenders, I tested the good one, haha.

So dad and I drove to his house... and he pulled them out of his barn, lol. I instantly fell in love, and decided they were to be mine. They were off his 60's Dodge van when he was younger, they are at the newest from 1973. So they're originals.

Only had them on it for 3 months, lost my license a week or two after I put them on. For 2 of those months I didn't have my license, then a month after I got it back I got the Deuce for a graduation present and swapped them onto it.

And NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I refuse to get rid of my vinyl top, lol. It's only about 2 years old, and it looks better than factory. Besides... how many cars even come with those now? It's classic, and keeps the old-school scheme alive in the car. That's one thing I can't get rid of, lol.

Now if I had a two-door....................that's a different story.
