Anyone know this rig?

Post by offroadkid »

A friend down in LA took this picture of a Patrol at a show today, along with a bunch of other awesome vintage Japanese cars. Is he a member of 60patrol?

It was a Japanese cruise-in at the Petersen Auto Museum.

So, hey! My '66 has the same "rake" as your old rig and the same cut out rear fender wheels with the same fender flares and wheels!! It must have been the style! My rubber fender flares are warped and ugly now and as much as I wish I had "non cut" rear wheel wells, I would at least like to have new rubber flares that it better. Do you happen to know where yours came from?

Thanks!

I put those rear flares on. The metal edges of the fender were very sharp so it was for my own protection as well as for looks. I thought I got them at JC Whitney, but it can't find them there right now. Here are the same flares from another source: http://www.jegs.com/i/Pacer+Performance ... oCYfnw_wcB
