Snowflakes! July 31, 2009, 05:13:28 PM I finally got around to restoring and installing the snowflakes. I was gonna paint 'em white but decided on a satin aluminum finish. This was a more practical than aesthetic decision: White snowflakes would've shown brake dust and been harder to keep clean. With blacked-out holes the brake dust will be virtually invisible Anyway, here she is with her new boots on. The 16" wheels and 225/60R16 tires really fill up the wheelwells compared to the 15" 10-holes and 225/60R15 tires: Quote Selected
Snowflakes! Reply #1 – July 31, 2009, 05:21:15 PM I likely:D. I ended up painting the holes on mine silver like they are stock. It's ok as I wipe down the wheels after every drive;) Quote Selected

Snowflakes! Reply #4 – July 31, 2009, 08:23:45 PM Yeah, Tom, but it's all in the details. Where you converted a TC to a 5.0 Bird, I converted a 5.0 Bird to a TC. Well, looks wise, anyway... And, of course, suspension/brakes/interior/rear end :hick:...and Thunderjet302, you're just crazy . Not that there's anything wrong with that... Quote Selected

Snowflakes! Reply #7 – July 31, 2009, 10:23:28 PM I agree with your treatment of the wheels, and the all-white car looks good with them. Quote Selected

Nice job!+1I will say again you just can't beat snowflakes for looks on 87/88 birds. I will agree there are some beautiful wheels out there can look great too, maybe just as good, but not better. Awesome job!! Quote Selected

You've likely put more effort into yours, than I did swapping in the 5.0... Quote Selected
