Hey guys,

Before I beat my head against the wall anymore (yes I used "search"), should I have a problem using 70-71 center caps on 72-plus rallye wheels?

Thanks,

G

P.S. Blasting is going well, one fender at a time.

As long as the rallye wheels are the big pattern they will interchange just fine. Right now I have 72-74 center caps on my 14" rallye's but I have a set of 71 centers.

Hey everyone, I finally got the Cuda (1970 Gran Coupe) out to the back 40 and have started pulling all that remains off of the body in prep for blasting. Thankfully, I have plenty of room and no time limit in order to get things done!

I will update with new pictures as the day go by but for now the car is basically gutted with the exception of rear glass, rear suspension, tail lights and hard lines which are coming out in a short couple of hours from now.

This is my first "straight restoration" so I am being very careful to tag and bag everything and I'm even using a manual! My last project was a custom 1953 Chevy 210 and pretty much all that is left of the original car os the body (i.e. new motor, interior, wiring etc.).

Any tips are always welcome and in case I haven't said it yet, thanks guys for all of the info and inspiration!
