Wheels are finished!!!
« on: April 10, 2010, 04:49:40 PM »
I finally finished re-doing my snowflake wheels.....for the 2nd time!  I was not happy with the way they came out the first time, so i decided to give it another shot.

thanks for the compliments guys. yeah, they are a big pain in the neck to make looking good. the hardest part is sanding the edges so they can shine nice. by the way, i sanding them all by hand!  no joke!  that wasn't cool. haha :o

Wheels look fantastic!
Nocturne blue and camel is one of favorite color combos....

Nice '70 Chevelle in the garage....
1970 was a very good year for GM muscle.
