Those aluminum slots sure bring back some memories lol

They were a rare fitment here even in the 80's. I've never seen another set in 8 & 1/2 ". I'll get them mounted on the old beast at some point.

I see that they're 6-lug, are they for a truck ?

Been a while since I posted progress on this Romanian Ford (G-8-T). All the detail work is done except the load bed tarp and placement of the windshield wipers. Paint will be next....the few pics. I have found on the net all seem to indicate they were painted in schwarzegrau.....difficult to tell with B/W photos but a fairly safe bet based on when they were captured. Rick H.

That's looking great! Very nice work. What are you going to use for tarp?

Thanks Ron.....appreciate it. Rick H.

Hi Dale, I use single ply tissue cut roughly to size and diluted Elmer's (PVA) to saturate it. Then I push it and prod it into place being careful not to tear the wet paper....when I'm satisfied with the shape I let it dry or use a hair dryer if I'm in a hurry and last, I set it with hairspray and paint it.
Thanks for the comments. Rick H.

Is that IG-88’s fantasy counterpart?
