Those are going to look super on the wife's MGB!
I was thinking of surprising with a set for her birthday
but I wanted her approval first. Now she can't wait.
Keep us posted as to delivery date on these beauties!

Off topic: Thanks a ton for the tech session last Saturday.
It sure was nice to get the BE on a lift for an easy peek down under. How can you beat a free grease job!
 
That looks good.
 
How about that same black wheel on a white Bugeye?
 
I've seen those anthracite wheels on ebay. I really like that look!! And the price doesn't seem to bad either.

OK guys, I'll try to do a few more quick ones tonight. My wife is due to give birth to our first child any second and I'm trying to get as many last minute projects (including the MG) done as possible.

Oh grats hope everything goes well and am sure it will.
 
Good luck to your wife and yourself. Hope all goes smoothly!

excuses excuses, come on man buck up - you've got a lap top with a battery. Bring it with you, contractions only come every few minutes, you'll have time inbetween.
:devilgrin:

seriously, blessings that all goes well.
 
Yeah, the ebay one's are them. That was $599 for the set and I'm not making ANYTHING right now. I sold a bit of stuff and has some extra money for the car.


Jack, don't sweat it bro. Do what ya gotta. Congrats!!!! You're blessed more than you know. Kelly had a tumor a while back and we had to "clean house". Kids aren't an option now. I told the doc as long as she come home, I don't care what you gotta do.

What names y'all got picked?

If it's a girl, name her Spridget.


Hey, maybe that's where the Speed racer character got his name Spritle.
( or was it Spridal?)
 
Bryan, anything you puton that car will look good.

Why you thinking about ditching those? If so, how much?
 
I'm just curious about how those would look. I have always liked those 4 spoke wheels, but don't know how they would work on my car. I like them on the red one though, but it's hard to beat the minilite style wheels on a LBC.

Congrats Jack!!!

Bryan
 
Thanks for all the good wishes everybody. I didn’t hardly get anything done today. We went to my nephew’s little league baseball game today since it might be our last opportunity for a while. I got the pieces for my fuel system plumbing and hopefully I’ll get more time to work on that tomorrow. I did finally get to some photoshop this evening. Here’s the anthracite wheels on the orange Midget.
