Side work 66 Mag Wheels
This is a bit of side project and story. When i was gather parts for the car I recall getting ahold of a guy in Kansas that had some really nice 66 exhaust manifolds. While in conversation the guy tells me he has some mag wheel covers off a 66 he bought brand new in 65. At first I was like eh maybe as my car is gonna have painted rims and poverty caps. Then he tells me that the covers were taken off the car 1 week after it was brand new and put up in his barn. I decided not to be pushy and gave him what he wanted for them. When they arrived, to say the least i was shocked. The pictures shown here are me simply cleaning them up and repainting the black on the rear stainless piece. Even the backs of the covers are still black with almost no rust. I could almost call these NOS. My plan is to only keep them with the car as this is what it came with new according to the original owner. The last picture is showing top, cleaned up and bottom how I got them.

Definitely can’t install these on your rims even to “JUST SEE” how it looks. Because as you probably know, they BITE into your RIMS and putting your Dog Dish caps on afterwards would require totally redoing your 14” rims.
Very nice wheel covers you snagged. $$$$$$ |
