I like the SC wheels but those are not for everyone.

The set of wheels I would be thinking hard about for your car are the Magnum 500 remakes.




AM carries these as well as a few others. No idea if you like this sort of thing or not.

There's another Magnum 500 remake out there that has much smaller openings. I'm not as much of a fan of those since you can't really see the calipers through the small slots.

Thanks guys hopefully it won't be raining tomorrow and maybe I can finally get this dang thing bolted on @84Ttop those Allen head bolts you sent with the covers do they fit the heads? I haven't checked but they kinda look smallish

They should fit the heads just fine. The valve cover bolts are a standard size. (The bolts I sent are the ones that come with the covers)

These covers require at least 3/8" spacer so I went ahead and got a 1" spacer lol

So it was nice enough outside yayyy!!! Hurray yayyy... So I started getting the new covers furnished by nick @84Ttop and powder coated by custom funchionz. So on with some pics.


The drivers side was a pain in the azz because of the heater tube.

This is how I routed the hoses for the catch can setup couldn't run them up in parallel with the end tank but I just did the same to the passenger side to make it symmetrical.

Here's the catch can it's in the passenger wheel well yes I know I may hit them with my tire if I do I will replace the straight connectors with a set of 45? Fittings
Here's how the hose was run over to the can I attached two hose seperators one by the valve covers really actually behind it and one close to the hole where the hoses pass through.
