Hi there A9X,
Whats the chances of getting a clearer pic of that front wheel? It appears to be a hotwire but I am more interested in the centre cap. What is it exactly? I have seen some before that look similar and would like to get hold of some.
Like this.
I dont mean to steal your thread so I will start a wanted thread as well. Thanks.

Some close ups of the Gold Pearl through the Orange paint
Having said that, Datto is right, it's much better in the flesh.

Darn it's looking good. The gold "highlights" really finishes it off. Who ever thought off adding them Are you guys sure you want to race it looks too good.

Thanks everyone.
By the end of the week it should look the goods with the black outs and the flares put on.
No it was not an SS, just a bog stock 6 cyl auto SL.
We are entering it as a 1977 SS A9X to take advantage of the disc brake rear end and the bigger wheels. The car will carry SS on the grill and tail to celebrate the best of the Torana's.
