I'm not sure where you can get the wheels you are looking for but you might think about going with salt flat discs.

Also, here is a pic of my Rat Fink, pinstriped on:

I like the "Fink"

I have seen those salt flats that you speak of and
don't really care for them to much.

Just throwing it out there.

How about some curb feelers? I have some original in the box from the 50's.........lol.

I think you pretty much have the exterior covered. On the interior you could do tuck and roll seats and fuzzy dash.

The littls 50's side mirrors would be pimp. I had those on my '56 Pontiac.

I think I am leaning more to the "Rat Rod" meets hot rod meets import style and not so much as ol skool, if that sounds right.

Nice treatment of the tails... I like it very much! By the way, how do you change a bulb that burns out?

I was going to say that. Sounds like a new skoolz rat rod ;-)

On a side note, saying "old skool" is an oximoron, since the old school way to spell school is school.
