My Ugly PO1s, How wheels change a car!!

[Mr. Chevy]

This winter I decided to do something different and change the wheels on my Nova.. I picked up a set of black steel wheels and an nos set of those ugly PO1 hubcaps.. My car originally came with the white steel xt wheels w/the poverty caps but I decided to be different and put the PO1s on with the E70 14 Super Sport Wide Ovals... Seems these days everyone is on the "band wagon" of having the body color xt wheels and poverty caps. With the PO1s it is soo ugly it's cool and very different... The car could have come with the PO1s but I don't know of anyone who ever ordered a car that way.. I guess because they were ugly...

I still have the body colored xt wheels with the E70 14 wide ovals and a set of Cragar SS wheels.. I'll alternate between the three this summer.. It's amazing how much the wheels change the appearance of the car...

Enjoy.... Rich

[ORIGLS6]

All in fun Rich. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif Actually the car will soon be sporting red lines and Vintage Torque Thrusts. (thanks in part to Mr. Tibor. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif)

[Mr. Chevy]

Thats cool Dennis, be sure to keep the PO1 hubcaps on hand..

Rich

[camarojoe]

Eh, Those white novas with PO1's are a dime a dozen. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif j/k... I like it, but I think I'd like to see it with the XT's with whitewalls for your next "new look".

I was gonna do that originally but I thought the white walls and white XTs would be way too much white on the car. So I opted for the raised white lettered wide ovals instead.. I know those did not come standard on the car and the whitewalls did...

Would you believe this is the garage he is getting rid of...... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif Nice house too though his house in Roodhouse is pretty cool as well. I thought Annie lived in the middle of nowhere until I visited Cumby's. Wheh!

[m22mike]

Very neat Rich http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Takes some gear to go with that look, butt cool all the same.
I am taking the 5 spokes off Black Beauty and going with black steelies and Doggie Caps W/Goodyear Redlines. Also ditching the rear spoiler and Cowl Hood for the born with SS hood. I will post some shots when done.

You bet! I'm diggin the look - love the P01's, the stealth look is the way to go. The 2nd choice would be the white steelies with the whitewalls - never too much white!

It's one of those BIG Z-28 engines. You know; the one with 5 extra cubic inches. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thats funny Sam.We used to call them "the cam eaters".

Dennis,I don't think those 5 extra cubes made them that much faster. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gifNot to much of a high winder either.Very spartan car though.

We used to call 'em "lifter eaters" because if/when the timing chain goes, you've got a nice set of bent valves!

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif So I guess I should reset the redline on the tach? It's currently at 7200. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Sorry Rich. We've hijacked the he!! outta your original posting! But I honestly like your look with the whitewalls and PO1s. It's all about being different and definitely should get some attention. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Ha! I wouldn't worry about that, it'll never make it to 7200rpm's http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

[Mr. Chevy]

Thanks for the kind words guys.. I'll leave the P01s on her for a while just to pi$$ everyone off at the cruise inns and shows!!

BKH, I would love to bring my car to VF, Do you think Big Daddy (Steve) will tow the beast there for me??? That's the trouble, getting it there... Would love to attend..

Mike, your Camaro will look awesome with the black steel wheels and poverty caps!! can't wait to see the look.. My buddy Carl is doing the same with his 68 Chevelle SS..
