I always dug the turbines although admittedly they're a dated look.

Remember Mr_Roboto Mr_Roboto I do Have two of these Chevelle SE now and Got really tired of looking and trying to barter / buy for the right 8.5" wide Western Wheel Turbine II wheels so pulled the trigger on Shawn's wheels and called it a day I will find some sooner or later and likely later LOL

I thought they were Vectors. What kills me is I saw some at a JY a long long time ago I would have bought except they were 16.5s. I can't imagine they made a ton of 16.5" aftermarket turbine wheels.

Well Friday was 3rd day with No Crutches and today Sunday Second day no wraps for my Fractured knee happened 7 weeks ago, I am slowly getting back out there with it, Friday my daughters helped me mount the rally wheels and I finally dug out the center section of spoiler and mocked it up where its gonna live Just need to get a new drill bit to drill the hole in trunk lid for the Mounting screws. Getting little things out of way to save time when I can get back to Finishing the 454 with a healed knee. But like we say progress is progress no matter how small it is it gets little things out of way

Well i got brave and Pulled the lower rocker trim off and Much to My surprise there was only one other spot that will need a Patch THANK GOD for that I did apply some primer filler there on it that I could see the Pin holes also so I don't miss them when I cut it out for a Patch NOW just drive side fender and roof, I have also decided to scuff the hood when ready for paint later this Summer so all colors match.
