next, i bought my "temporary" wheels, i say temporary because these wheels will find their way onto my 1972 riviera boattail once i can afford bigger KMC rims, but thats a ways off.

i will get pics up soon, they really did improve the look of the car, like i said before, i would love torque thrust II's but untill i can afford them these will be great, and later they will also look great on my 1972 riviera, dont judge untill you see pictures.

i have really been thinking that i want something different and trick, and i love the look that i would get when i pop my hood and you see a twin turbo 455 big block under the hood! tell me what you think!
here are some pics of what the setup might look like.

I know most people are saying why did you mess with it it looked fine, well I stupidly daily drove this car through 1 winter and alot of the previous bodywork started to show through.

It actualy needed quite a bit of work...hotrodoldsman's 1976 Oldsmobile 98 wexford, PA Customized with Edelbrock Engine Comps., Custom Exhaust, Accel Ignition, B&M Transmission, Accel Engine Electronics, American Racing Wheels, BF Goodrich Tires, Custom Body Kit, Custom Seats, APC Steering Wheel - 21
