casper50 Posted February 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2018 I have been thinking about it. Have to find a good set of 16" rings that don't break the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper50 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Got the beauty rings on. Looks a little busy to me but I think it looks better than no rings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46Ply Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I think it looks good with them on! Need a darker pinstripe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 The pinstripe is the same color as the car. Black would be about the only color darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merle Coggins Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 With the white rims and wide white walls the beauty ring kind of get lost. (my opinion). They would stand out much more with darker wheels and different tires, but again, that's my opinion and not something I would expect you to change. The car is looking AWESOME. You've come a long way... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I agree Merle but I'm not changing it now. The wheels are powder coated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper50 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Had to move the coupe from the rear or (project) garage to the front parking garage before my surgery next week. Want to the the next project inside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2018 Most likely the last post in this thread. Went for my first drive in the coupe today. A few bugs to work out yet. Clutch pedal doesn't come all the way up so the clutch isn't engaged fully until I pull it up with my foot. Temp went to 185. I'll have to watch it to make sure it's good there. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper50 Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 We had my son, daughter and my daughter's friend from Japan here this week. Each got a ride in the coupe and all were amazed that it didn't have seatbelts. But, they all really enjoyed the rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live up a dirt road on an island that floods. Besides the thick coat of dust in the summer just from cars passing by,I don't want to deal with mud thrown up under the car. Especially not since I have flexibility programs and can't bend over and sometimes can't bend my knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
