My first A-body so I don't know if I'm going to keep it or not, car runs strong. Hopefully will chrome the bumpers and fix the split bench seat.Going to see if I can convert the A/C. Changing from the dog dishes to Ralley wheels. Thinking about driving this to Carlisle next year.

I'm going to try and put the ralleys on this week to see how they look. The only problem is that I'm not real sure which center cap to use. The acorn style that is used on 72-74 cudas? Or the 70-71 look. I have the big bolt pattern on the front and the small on the rear. I didn't want to use the adapters, so I have to get a pair of the small bolt pattern center caps.

What style center cap do they make for the small bolt pattern?

If you're having trouble deciding, you can start a new thread with a pole like NZ did for his center caps.   Just my 2 cents.
