Great work! Can I be first in line if you ever decide to sell this beauty?
What wheels are you planning to put on the car?

Sure thing....dont hold your breathe though....I looked for this one for a looooonnnngggg time. Plus the selling price would also have to reflect the cost of my inevitable divorce....
I've had an order in since the week after Thanksgiving with PS Engineering for a set of their T/A-1 wheels in 15x7 with 4 inch backspace. These are by far the closest thing you can buy to the original Torque Thrust Ds from the late 60s. Unfortunately, the week after I made my order, PS Engineering and Vintage Wheel Works were bought out by Coker Tire. As they work through the finances and logistics of the acquisition, everything is pretty much on hold. I'm in the Middle East for another two months so I haven't completely given up on them, but if I don't have a resolution by the time I get home the first week in April, Ill have to start looking at plan B. I would just use the American Racing Torque Thrust D, but they only offer it in a 3.75 inch backspace and that quarter of an inch difference just puts the sidewall of the tire too close to the inside lip of the fender for my taste...one big bump going around a corner and you risk contact and cracking the fiber glass fender. With 4" backspace and -1 degree camber all the way around, I won't have any issues with a 225/60/15 tire.
I would run then without the center cap. As you probably saw in some of the previous pics, I already have the extra long Trans-Am style wheel lugs.
