I'm guessing it's for the brake lines. Very bad idea, unless it's copper/nickel.

My 17" wheels are now installed with new tires. Looks better then the old hubcaps that the finish was peeling off. I still have to decide on lug covers, I may remove the covers from the old hubcaps or try to find something different. I don't want chrome as the factory alloys are not chrome.

Black lugnuts might be the ticket!

Oldblue I am going to have to look around and see what catches my eye. That has to wait till next week. Today is a family get together at my late mother's house. After the Christmas get together it is going on the market. It will be a bittersweet day.

Today a celebration at our church, the 90th anniversary of its construction in 1928. It was nice.

Ron S- Yep, I understand, there will be a range of emotions. But it is what needs done. Remember the good times.
