Subject: Re: Orange Wheels
Body:
I thought somebody mentioned that the Eurocoupes were painted
differently. Maybe thats what these wheels were from.
They do look like they had been on a car briefly at one point (They
were never put on my car).
I may just keep them and send all four of my originals off to be
reworked and keep the other two for backups. At this point I have
given up worrying about the expense, I just want to get this thing
done so I can drive it this summer.
This will be, nay IS the most expensive ASC "road pig" of all time.
I stopped keeping track of $$ after the second batch of parts I
ordered from Henry.
At this point I'm on a mission from God...
