Dave's Hot Rod '84 Merc 2 dr

[88Vic]

Are the turbines in good shape? If so, paint em white and put on whitewalls. I saw a GM like tha around here the other day, except he has white-painted steelies, and it looked so badass. Do it.

[Dave84]

took off my hub caps,, Im sorry but i just cant get use to looking at steelies on my car, just makes it look shabby,, im my eyes any way,, I left my hub caps off anyhow cause im sick of people herassing me about them,,, so far only one person has said they like um,,, to be perfectly honest im not crazzy over them ether but they where better then nothing,,, ill get some pics of my car with the steelies tomorow mornning before i swap my ranger wheels back on,,,

[88MercWagon]

Dude if you like them put them back on. I personally think that the wire hubcaps don't look bad at all. don't let other people pressure you into shit like that mang.

[88Vic]

Don't do anything because people give you crap about it. Do whatever you want with it, it's your car, not anyone elses. I wasn't tryin to make you feel bad, I just hate hubcaps with a passion and I think steelies are awesome. Do what you want, not what others what.

[Dave84]

Well here it is with the steelies on,,, but sometime today im going to put my ranger rims on,,,and yes i know my white walls are very dirty

[88Vic]

I think it looks really good with just the steelies. I'm using our old computer, so I can't tell if they're clean or not. If not, clean them up and clean the tires and it'll look great, especially on a tudor. You don't have to do that, but that's what i'd do.

[marquisman]

wow, its like looking at my car...in white, lol!

I actually like the look of your car with the wire wheelcovers better than any other look. Normally I like bare steelies as much as anything, but on yours, the wires are really nice.

I like steelies but the caps or even the wires were kinda cool. Also steelies with white stripe tires are hoopty. IMO black steelies only look good on dark colored cars with black wall tires or RWL's.

[gabegt90]

I like the steelies

[MrMarquis]

What might be an interesting look...Clean up the white walls and steelies...And paint the center circle white. Hmm...Might have to try to Photoshop that one.

[88Vic]

Maybe if the white has worn off, you could repaint the stripe for a better look, and you could make it wider if you want, like Jeremy's 89. Then just clean the steelies and see how you like it. If you don't you can put the hubcaps back on or put the turbines or Ranger rims on, whatever you want.

[85crownHPP]

Some people like hearing input! like me. I like to know if poeple think something Ive done is tacky or fugly, but that doesnt mean I have to change it. I like the wheels anyway but with any kind of aftermarket hubcaps.
Oh and its lookin good under the hood expect for all the overspray. You can remove vacuum lines, unplug/pull back wire harnesses, and tape things off for better results Even better new vacuum lines and new loom over the wires for a finishing touch.

[marquisman]

i wish i could pull all the vac lines off my merc, but they have weird things on em and run to and from the carb, much different than my mark!

A rather poor attempt, but you get the idea. I don't personally care for it, but, I'm not the important one in this whole thing.

As I said before, my favorite look for this car is the wires.
