In the current economy, no one wants an unexperienced, dumb, 17 year old kid working for them) i'll start buying some new body parts for the poor beast. But, she looks a lot better than other junkers.

[QUOTE=bradley;30215004]In America, it might be in a different class, having 8 wheels on the ground and all.[/QUOTE] Apparently those spare wheels are only active to help cross ditches and stuff. May be wrong though.

With different centers. My '64 El Camino has a normal set with the same rings/centers.

Nice, I knew that look though. Those are by far my favorite steel wheel on the planet.

Sure, that'd be cool. [editline]9th June 2011[/editline] I'm going to guess they are like my dad's, since his are custom made ones, I think 8" in the front and 12" wide in the rear.

[QUOTE=madmax678;30212553]See, cars like that with that kind of engine are in abundence in the UK, most of our vehices are inline/straight 4 or V6's. Mostly see V8's in HGV's and some other "by the trade" vehicles.[/QUOTE] HGVs and buses, trucks, etc. all mostly have monster straight 6 engines or something similar. Trucks usually are around the 10 - 11 litre mark.
Oh how I wish I had family into cars, so I could have somewhere to work on a project. Or have money, or tools. :smith:
