New Thoughts - On paper anyway 4 Now

Postby Classic Finn » Mon Nov 12, 2007 6:01 pm

Ive been doing some pencil work and racking my ol brains on a retro style tear..

This is what Ive got so far...The Fenders are made here in Finland.

Tires are 155/70 R13, - bolt pattern 4x100

short answer: Yes
explanation longer than the short answer: wheels and lights - leave fenders black - too cool retro

Heikki sleeps? When?

Heikki, IMHO, I feel the second pic has more of a retro flavor to it. Perhaps if the first pic had more of a retro style wheel (wire, artillery, etc), I'd have a better understanding of the look you're trying to acheive. Regardless, whatever you decide, it will be awesome :thumbsup:

If you are going to do a basket weave wheel, you may as well do a raven argonaut...

Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...
