      Thanks for all of the great comments guys! If it weren't for this site I would have never gotten as far as I have!

      Blue 70 and Zefhix- I was originally going for a gun metal grey (I believe the color was stock on '72 Nova's), but when I got searching around in the color book, I stumbled upon this color and liked it more cause it has a metalic shade to it. While I don't know if it is actually a true metallic, I know the color was a GM color in 85. I think it is called something on the lines of Gun Metal Grey though! I hope that helps! I have a touchup can in the basement, but no label on the can, I just took some of the extra paint from when we sprayed the car. The color looks a bit darker in the pic than it actually is. Mostly due to the fact that the car was in the garage. My step father had a '72 Nova that was Gun Metal Grey and that is why I wanted to go with that color, but then I thought I would get close to the color but add my own touch to it.



      Protour_Chevelle- Ya I noticed after I posted the pics and got lookin a bit closer that they were flip flopped. They aren't actually bolted up. I just put a couple lug nuts on it to take the pics for you guys. I still have to take them off to do the suspension. And then to top it all off, I forget I put in 1/2" studs with the Mosier 12 bolt and got 7/16" nuts for the rear. Dang it, now I gots to order some 1/2" inchers.

      kman67rsss- Yeah I am not a big Boyd fan myself, but liked the wheels and figured that his personailty doesn't make the wheels. His personality sucks and the way he treats his employees sucks even more, but the wheels def fit the budget ($1500 for tires, wheels, mounted, balanced, lugs, and shipping) and I liked the TTII's, but wanted somethin a bit different.
