Wish i had a pic of mine from 1978....! Thats awesome. Sadly I am completly lost with mine. Last thing i found out was that the owner from 1988-94 seems to have never ran it, didnt remember much about it, and now seems to have dissapeared from the earth.. or hiding somewhere  :o

Did you find out anything about that injector thingy/Jacks Custom Auto?

It took me almost 1 year to the day I got my car for the info I have now.  Now looking for the other pieces of the puzzle. 

So far I can't come up with any info on Jacks custom auto. I do have a friend from Youngstown Ohio that is looking for me.

I ordered my American Rebel Mfg wheels today. Champ wheels 16-11 and 1200-16 M&H tires.  ;D

Waiting for a call to get some work done on my car at the end of the month.

Good to know... how did you like fit and finishing in general?

The finish is great. Haven't mounted ant tires on them yet.  I saw a 33 Whillys gasser with them on and he was racing the car.

Not much done on my car.. Waiting for Rooman to call me and I can bring my frame out to him to do some work on it.
   
After some tire issues from Coker tire I got my fresh tires from MandH tire great place to do business with.

If you are not going to use those wheels and tires for awhile , get some of those large vacuum bags to store them in, sucking the air and moisture out will keep the polish looking fresh for a long time.
