Hello I'm new here i have two elcaminos a 78 & a 81my 81 is an every daydriver black bucket seats black interior fair condition everything has been repainted but nothing is perfect just descent not show quality by any means, no pics online but the paint is beautiful its been primed twice blocked by hand and painted lazer red with ppg clear, and my 79 isnt yet finished but all it need is an interior and i should have it on the road within the next two months.

Anyways I'm here to ask questions and get recomendations and advice, so feel free to mesage me.

Sorry, I don't mean to bust on you right out of the box. But please explain the thought process behind those wheels.
If they make you happy that's all that matters. But I just got to ask...why? :poke:

I don't understand it. But than I don't have to. I just don't think they look at all good. But I will defend your right to put them on your Elky. :beer:

Oh and welcome to ECC.

Do'nt worry about the Daytons that's why we have the rainbow. When I bought my '80 it also had Daytons, 20" gold plated it looked good but just was'nt my taste, a friend gave me some IROC wheels and I sold the Daytons. Now the car is going through a total makeover I will be posting pictures. I like the way your car looks it shows you are putting a lot of effort into it. I am interested in your pulley system I will be installing an aftermarket A/C system with a sanden compressor and I want to switch my alternator to the driver side. Check out the Florida forum there is a get together at Cocoa in February.
