Super-job! Is there some kind of purpose with having the car standing outside? (or is it just temporarily/saving space in the garage?)

Great looking job on a sweet ride. The hubcaps are the same as my conv. is coded for. I have a set and am looking for the rims to mount the hubcaps back on the car. I can not believe how hard it is to find 14"x6" steel wheels. I have never seen another car with those caps on the road. It would be cool to see our purple/white cars side by side with the same caps. Maybe at the Mopar Nats? I am planning on attending.

Anxious to see more pics.

The car is FC7(plum Crazy Purple) with an EW1(white) painted roof. The car car also rolled off the line with a white interior and white long R/T stripe. In the outside photos the car appears to be on the blue side but if you look at one of Steve's pevious posts there is an underside shot that shows the true purple!

Thanks for all the thumbs up!

sweet :thumbsup: I love those hubcaps. Did you restore the hubcaps? Do you know of anyone who redtores hubcaps? I have a set that need to be redone. Still looking for my 14x6 steel rims.
Keep up the excellent work.

Have you asked Frank Long who does it Bob? If not I'll ask around if you are intersted in finding someone. Too Bad Jack T. isnt around much anymore, I'm sure he would know of such a person who does it with similar pro-results.

Eddie, Frank sounds like a good start. i have bought rims off of him and he is a nice guy. If you do ask around that would also be great.

71pacecar, do you have a source for 4 more of those hubcaps if I can not restore mine?
