Guessing because the wheels appear to be the same, this is different paint on the same car above. Unusual wheels.

Everytime I see this pic of this car I am amazed at how much time and money it took for that candy paint job, lace panels, pinstriping and 24K gold leaf work. It must have been amazing to see it in person...pics just don't do it justice. Very few folks left with the skills and talent to do this anymore...Bucky/Travis's shop of course.

Wheels don't quite do it justice but they're magnesium so the weight savings would be worth it. I'm sure they looked great all shiny new...but that only lasts a few months with real mags.

I think the patina on those REAL "mags" makes them even cooler. I love those rims. If anybody knows where I can find a set, let me know!

A buddy of mine is still doing gold leaf and exotic paint in Illinois. Greg did out Mr. Norms cars, they are awesome...
