They had to take off more metal than I hoped,...........

     Do have an idea of the depth-of-cut required?

Scott, I'll try to find out.

Thanks all for your comments. I agree with Bob totally; they'll be going on a nicely (not over) restored driver, and yes, the unrestored wheels did look a bit out of place. I've got Magnums on it now, but looking forward to when I can reunite it with the original wheels.

Just got my first wheel back from Pico Wheel. I think they did a great job considering what they had to work with. At some point prior to my ownership someone sandblasted the wheels, which didn't do the aluminum any good. They had to take off more metal than I hoped, but the wheels have really deep pits. Here's a pic of the wheel I just got back next to one that goes out next week. These are the original wheels to 6S1366 and I really wanted to keep them with my car.

I emailed Tony Conover a few days ago about some work, he said they're scaling back on restorations, pretty much just mechanical work. Too bad, he's done some beautiful restorations.

I know they're in Virginia, but Brant really likes Maple Hill Restoration. From what I've seen, they do really nice work.

Only the temp out, not the speed......

Brian, I got your car's twin, #1366, out yesterday. How many 55 degree days do we get in Maryland at the end of January, with no salt on the roads? Not many!

Great. Thank you Cory!

Apologies if this has been posted before but I've done some (I thought) thorough searching on the forum and didn't come up with anything. I have a set of '66 ten spokes I need to have restored. I thought Paradise Wheels did them but I didn't see anything on their site and haven't heard anything back from my inquiry. Can anyone point me in a direction? Thanks!

6S1366

Still looking for an early '66 dated Holley (Jan/Feb date) for my '66 Shelby. November or December '65 would work too. I have a 643 date available for trade?
Thanks.

Looking for a 1966 January or February dated 715 Holley for my '66 GT 350 #1366. Please PM with availability and price.
Thanks!
