Wish i had a pic of mine from 1978....! Thats awesome. Sadly I am completly lost with mine. Last thing i found out was that the owner from 1988-94 seems to have never ran it, didnt remember much about it, and now seems to have dissapeared from the earth.. or hiding somewhere  :o

Did you find out anything about that injector thingy/Jacks Custom Auto?

It took me almost 1 year to the day I got my car for the info I have now.  Now looking for the other pieces of the puzzle. 

So far I can't come up with any info on Jacks custom auto. I do have a friend from Youngstown Ohio that is looking for me.

I ordered my American Rebel Mfg wheels today. Champ wheels 16-11 and 1200-16 M&H tires.  ;D

Waiting for a call to get some work done on my car at the end of the month.

Thanks. I was told they used a real Halibrand 16x11 for the mold

Good to know... how did you like fit and finishing in general?

The finish is great. Haven't mounted ant tires on them yet.  I saw a 33 Whillys gasser with them on and he was racing the car.

Not much done on my car.. Waiting for Rooman to call me and I can bring my frame out to him to do some work on it.
   
After some tire issues from Coker tire I got my fresh tires from MandH tire great place to do business with.

If you are not going to use those wheels and tires for awhile , get some of those large vacuum bags to store them in, sucking the air and moisture out will keep the polish looking fresh for a long time.
