Tim, great to see your car moving right along...lots of details to work out and keep you busy. You will have a bit of time to work things out when the body is bonded to the frame and it's off at the painter.

The centers on my FIA wheels are an "antique" white with polished rims.

Jim,

Did your wheels come painted or was that done after you purchased them?

If you did have them painted, any recommendations ?

Thanks!

Ray,

Has your car made it to 'the lift' yet?

Next time you are at ERA keep an eye out for 2136 ... thanks!

#775 on the lift for a bit, now waiting on the 6 pin hubs. Getting close....

I should be taking a trip up there in a few weeks and will look for #2136 then.

The wheels and tires came from the ERA prototype FIA. When that car was sold and "went west" it went with a new set of wheels and street tires. This set was lying around the shop and I really liked they way they looked, and so.......... I would surmise that they were originally painted by Teddy at the shop. He usually ends up with that sort of chore and has done them for me before (my GT40s).
