Yes, and I taught him everything he knows.... But not everything I know, of course.

Oh noooo! You obviously taught the Redskins everything you know...

We may have picked one more up on the SAAC forum. For now he'll be on the fence until I get his question answered by Richard @ Halibrand.

The HARD list:
1. rodneym
2. Rodknock
3. N2VENOM
4. 601HP
5. Sal Gerace
6. Lew Ledyard
7. ?

The fence (awaiting answers from Halibrand):
A: WhatsaCobra (delivery timing)
B: CSX289 (all 4 wheels 7.5" and no powder coating)

I've bombarded Richard with our questions. He said yesterday that he's working on answers this weekend.

We have to keep our eye on the ball. If special requests slow the train down, then we need jettison some people from the train.

Don't we just want a new production run of the original set of wheels to be made or what?

Hey, who bought the used painted black set of mag wheels here on CC?

RedBarchetta (remember him?) spoke with Tom (Rokndad). You can see his beautiful CSX, Webers and all, at Family Classic Cars' website for sale. No price listed.

CSX289's request for all four wheels being non powder coated and the same size hopefully wouldn't slow things down since these runs are so small. But it was requested, so l asked.

And yes, about the mags for sale....seller told me 2 sets went in 30 mins.
Can any buyer confirm that?

[rodneym]

I was reading in the Registry (pg 672) that the Halibrand Cobra II (427) wheels were all magnesium. For some reason I assumed that only mags were used on Full Comp 427's and maybe S/C's. No mention of aluminum except for the Kelsey-Hayes Sunbursts.

There you have it. Any self respecting CSX continuation owner (especially an aluminum car) MUST have magnesium wheels! There's no two ways about it.

Step right up! Please form a line. No pushing or shoving, please.

This is important me. Why are you first on the list? I've been waiting longer and I'm.......something better than you.
