Starting back in the early days of drag racing wheelcovers were removed from cars before racing . This was to prevent caps from coming off and possibly hitting someone or some windshield or what have you. It was a safety issue thing. Running your car around town without wheel covers was supposed to signify a race car. Thus the idea for and upgrade by some to chrome wheels. no chitt. jimmijimsigpicAnything worth doing deserves your best shot. Do it right the first time. When you're done you will know it. { I'm just the guy who thinks he knows everything, my buddy is the guy who knows everything.} cheers jimmijim*****SDC***** member

I'd say that palm tree was in the extreme south section of Washington state near San Diego.

I think the race care drivers name is Dave. [8D] He races the west coast from WA to CA. [8]
People might still ask what year the car is.

Thanks for posting that Rich. I'll be sure to let her know how good she looks!!! Credit for that photo goes to Clark (Showbizkid). He captured Sweet Pea in front of his house during one of my visits. Barney enjoyed the company, I'll bet!!!
She's cap-less because the only ones that fit those wheels are for '40 Fords. I didn't like their look, so I put them on 'Baby' instead. New wheels with 'better' caps are going on this car in the next few weeks.
There are race tracks in this car's future BTW~ no chitt!!!
One day she'll be better trained to turn right AND left... [:0]
