New look almost complete

New wheels, rotors, tires and front calipers painted. Rear calipers next weekend. Looks a ton better than stock with dipped wheels...

Got a caliper paint kit at Advanced Auto, caliper decals on ebay and used a header clear coat as a last step.

Haha! Whole car pic next weekend. I started on the front Sunday at noon and the paint took so long to dry all I got done was the front!

I put the American Racing chrome Torq-Thrust wheels on my SS in January. They really make the car stand out.

For a guy who learned to love muscle cars in the 60's and 70's, that style of wheels will always be classic. Not sure how anyone could call them "terrible"...

I know they're not actually mustang rims but the Mustangs all used to have this very similar type of rim almost exactly the same
