Is the spare the same as the 4 tires on the car ? The whitewall look slightly different(larger) than the 4 tires on the car. Could just be my eyes or an optical illusion.

Wow. It's all coming together! That hood ornament has been waiting far too long. Time to show it off!

George, I know that you are correct in that little to no color will show on the wheels after the wheel covers are installed, but it was a good excuse to mix up some of the remaining paint and in the process touch up some of the inevitable chips that you get as you are putting a car back together.
But hey, you can see the nice pretty paint on the spare tire when the trunk is opened Except when it's covered up by the spare tire cover which classes up the trunk area. And here it is with the blue cleaned off the tires and wheel covers in place And a shot of the the car in the front yard. I cleaned up and installed the outside passenger mirror, as well as the old hood emblem. There is a defect in the paint at the front of the hood that the guy who painted the car will fix as soon as I take it back to his shop. After that is done, I will install a new NOS hood ornament that has been sitting on a shelf in my basement for over 15 years. |

Thanks for all the nice comments! The car has certainly turned out much nicer than I was planning on when I started it over 3 years ago. I hope that people have enjoyed reading and seeing the updates and ups and downs of this restoration project. I know that I enjoy following other peoples projects on the forum and am constantly amazed by peoples resourcefulness and ingenuity. For tires, the options for 14 inch whitewalls are few and I wound up going with 205/75s from Uniroyal. Was tempted to do 215/70 to get some more meat on the ground, but with 5 1/2 inch rims it did not seem like such a good idea. The front end was aligned yesterday and is now drive-able. As a matter of fact the odometer that I reset to zero now shows 50 miles. More pictures as I finish up with the little details.
