By the way vintage chrome reverse rims have the tapered barrels. I think Rallye America who advertises on the HAMB has them that look correct not just chrome steel wheels.

Here's what he said in his email...

This was my friend's COPO Chevelle in the fall of '69. He had the Vette side pipes on for a short while but
the steady drone on the highway got old pretty quickly. He sold them to a Vette guy and went with the
chambered exhaust.

I like the old Rocket brand products and saw these at a show the other day.

Heres a couple of large NMW decals. They are kinda hard to come by. This steel box is probably an old weight box but I may use it as a battery box. It has an NMW decal on it as well.

The NMW stuff is really cool. All of their stuff is old USA high quality fabrication.

Now the Rocket on the other hand, I got the impression was off-shore "knock'off" quality. Might have been a US company, but more built off-shore and assembled state side at best. Kinda cool, but kinda not given the vintage time line.

Do you know how the old Cragar SS wheels they used to knock-off were made? I know Cragar used ot do it all here, now Carlisle Wheel & Tire make the Cragar SS for Cragar now has the centers shipped in from China, then welds the hoops. Don't know where the hoops are made, but I would suspect China.
