Thanks Dave, I appreciate the thought.  I may check out the boneyard you mentioned although it is kind of along ways away. 

I guess the search might be made a bit easier when you also consider that Chevelle windows and other stuff are the same. Correct?

Yesterday I did a test swap and put on a set of 15 by 7 ralleys with  the Beaumont centres  and I must say, that's the way it should look! The permanent set will be 15 by 5's with maybe slightly taller tires. Here's a couple of shots.

Sorry about the mud on it. My yard is still thawing out but I couldn't wait to drive it.  She is a smoothey and the 283 feels pretty perky!  Even the wife liked i

 

Looks great! Its a shame that the dogdish caps dont fit on those wheels, as they would be a cool look.

You bet Carl!  Could be quite soon if the weather cooperates.  Still have a few things to do.  I'll be in touch!

So far it acts nice and tight and pretty much like a new car. Still has original ball joints. I figure if I cover it with mud it will keep it from rusting. Sort of a hillbilly version of undercoating. 

Just spent a day or two putting in an eight track player and trying to make it look factory.   The unit is actually from a 69 Pontiac floor mount setup so I put it in the same way. I mounted two GM 10 ohm 6x9's on the back package tray and used two original 66 rear speaker grilles from a couple of my parts cars. I replaced the knobs with a couple of 1966 Pontiac radio knobs to match the ones in the Beaumont. I'm actually pretty happy with it although so far the unit is a little balky. Hopefully I can get it 100 percent and then its cruising time!

Good one!   Put it this way. I'm not sure that it just might be my 60+ year old hearing but half the time it seems to only play through one speaker.  have to runs some tests.  This is what happens when you try to use 50 year old electronics even though this stuff was way overbuilt at the time.

 

 

It would have been a real mismatch of artists as the Eagles were stadium fillers and Jesse was a much more folksy artist suited to small venues. The crowd that was there for the Eagles would have tolerated him at best.  I will say also say this, he got better and wrote better songs as he aged too.

Some of his lines have stuck with me for decades.

"One day I'll be old gray grandpa
All the pretty girls will call me "sir, "
Now, where they're asking me how things are
Soon they'll ask me how things were..."

This ones for Bernie C. He helped get these wheels to me. I must say they do suit this thing a lot better than the 15x5 rallys I had on it. Used the same tires. I think its a keeper. Probably could use a wash though.

Those wheels look good there Ken!

 Looks factory.......the general should have had them 10 years earlier.

Sweet! Yeah, that salinity in the oceanside atmosphere will do stuff to brightwork and untreated metal that you don't worry about in Wild Rose
Country. It may not be 3,800 miles, but it sure doesn't seem like even 103,800, given the state of the soft bits and the engine compartment! It's definitely a keeper.
