Hello to the B-body community. First & foremost I'd like to give graditude to one of thee most resourceful forums on the net. I'm very aware of the knowledge & advice that is offered & it has been very helpful & much appreciated🙏 & hope to give back as much as possible .I'm a welder/fabricator & professional auto detailer from Florida & own a black 95 SS with 122k miles(3rd one owned). Purchased from NJ 2yrs ago, spent a year recovering it to it's former glory you can imagine the rust removal & repairs😑. It's basically stock with minor modifications as well as emissions delete. So far everything is copesthetic👌 glad to be aboard.

Very nice. I think the rims blacked out without the center caps look better than with the caps on.

Jeez I wish my paint were that nice...

Thanks...I definitely agree, I actually just bought a new set of caps & decided I like the stainless steel lugs instead.... Guess they just grew on me, got a meaner look.

Don't let the camera phone fool you. 😁... Lots of clay bar action & compound will turn your paint around... if it's still there or course. Oh & the grille is fresh.

Welcome to the forum!

@GoremanX and I will soon be abusing you as a source of fabrication knowledge.

Any chance you want to make your front wheels work?

Hey IronSS. Welcome brother. I’m new to the group as well. What part of FL you from. I get down to Tampa often visiting family and would enjoy seeing your car. I’m in the middle of a rebuild and working on my wheel approach. I’ve gone a similar route with the wheels refinishing them with gloss black powercoat but I CNCed the lip, and rim. Have new caps that I’m playing around with - all black, black ring with metal center cap and black sticker and your approach with billet lugs. Would you mind posting some pics of the front and rear wheels as you have it set up? Also any advice on the grill. I’m adding a new 2” cowl hood and my existing grill needs replacing. Here are some pics of my wheels for reference. Backs are widened to 10.5” so to fit the MT315’s. Finally - what size tires are you running front and back and are you using any spacers? Looks like your rear wheels are closer to the fender lip than stock. Digging the stance. Well done.

Hey there bud, Those are purtty👀👌 there, I prefer that look myself but my rims were curb checked & reconditioned on the lip x4 to be powder coated. I tried center caps a week ago after a year of riding with the lugs effect & didn't care for em so I returned em. My tires are stock size & no spaces, I just eliminated the wheel well moldings. As for the grille there's a US seller on ebay that sells oem gm grills (unpainted). Thanks for sharing your wheels man.🤙
