<x-flowed>Nice wheels....where did you get them?  I am restoring a 71 FB it has the 
stock steel (bent) wheels, would love to find a set of 4-bolt wheels 
preferably in a "turbofan" 70's look mag wheel.
As far as Madison 05, my FB will not be ready this year, hopefully it will 
leave the garage under it's own power late this year!
