Yeah... ...they did, but he's referring to the Torque Thrust II's that are polished aluminum, they are much more recent (90's?). Not the cast aluminum or painted TT's. I have the factory aluminum slots. It's a lot easier to spray some windex and wipe Cragar S/S wheels than to keep any uncoated aluminum wheels clean. Just my $.02. Oh, I like the factory color of green and white. So, there is my vote. Seth
I gotta agree with Jamie on wheel selection. If it were my car I would keep the white and use a brighter green.
I like staying stock. White on bottom is nice, the green you can play with some, gold tint mixed in, darker, or stay factory. Sport mirrors would add a nice touch. Cragar S/S are the wheels of my day! S/S s or the ET deep dish! 55 Vic,70 Cutlass, 69 Mach 1, Dad's work car 65 Fairlane wagon (he was not impressed when I bought wheels that were worth more than car) I would stick with the Cragars- black walls!!!! Unless you want to make me happy with them in my gararge!
Awww, man. If the paint color and scheme are changed on this car, I'm going to be sick. (I realize this has no affect on your decision.To each their own - but...but...but..please dont' change it! )
After some consideration...I've decided on an optional color out of the 74 paint codes, 4T "Green Glow" it's a little more green than the existing "4B" thats on the car and has more metallic, nice new white stripes, and for the wheels the Cragars have to go, I don't want to hurt anyones feelings, but they...just look dated, so factory trim rings and hubcaps, like on Bob Beck's car (Man that car looks so cool) and of course my long lusted after Grabber hood. My body guy is coming over this afternoon, so I'll see what he thinks Thanks for all the input!!
I already have a White with Orange stripe 74, I thought of doing White with Green, but I figured I didn't want 2 White cars.
i wouldnt get rid of the white, i think the white on bottom is a very cool classic look, but thats just me
