Well, my replica was built in the late 1980's when engines and other parts were still available to replicate the original as close a possible. I ended up with real Halibrand magnesium wheels - it's a real beast with no radio, heat or air - nothing that would slow it down.....

Yep, that's a beauty. Pin-drive Halibrands are part of the iconic appearance of the car, it annoys me when I see a Factory Five kit with 18" Mustang wheels and super-low-profile rubber. It works, but something just looks a bit "off".

What's the story on the Chevy?
