Just wanted to let everyone know I picked up Pepe from the body shop today. I think it turned out great, I'm really happy with the job he did. Next up is window tinting and probably some new wheels. Anybody have any cool aftermarket wheels on their Eagle?
Here is one photo, and the link to the photo folder on PhotoBucket

can't go wrong with black wheels with a chrome lip
AMAZING!
She looks wicked! Nice work.
Looking Good! I also like the Jeep wheels you have.
Absolutely beautiful!!!! And to think that was in a junkyard when you rescued it. Kudos to you. :occasion14: As far as wheels go, in my opinion, American Racing Vector wheels would look perfect but near impossible to find.

Too many of the new wheels today would be too "blingy" and would detract from the Eagle's awesomeness. I think these ION Alloy 171's would be sharp. But also think the wheels you have know look great on there.

WOW!
I have thought these wheels would look nice on a Sportorized Eagle. Simple and somewhat like the original covers. The red accent goes with the red accent on many Sport Eagles, which I know you don't have but it may not look too bad.

I have a set of those I got from El Matador. they need to be sandblasted, and painted (they've been painted white/or are white) but they should look really nice on 'Flicker'
I have those on the wagon, and have been thinking of trying them on the SX/4 , I am missing the center caps though.......
I only have the black "Jeep" center caps.
Thanks to everyone for their wheel suggestions. So many choices!
Yesterday I got my windows tinted, which will definitely help in the summer as I don't have A/C.

Or maybe I can take a road trip up your way. I know TheReverendBill said he might be driving along I-80 sometime this month on his way back from Utah. Maybe we can talk him into swinging down to Ft. Collins and meet him there!

Excellent idea!
I sent a message to the Rev and it sounds like his trip will be delayed but we should figure out a time to meet up. Are you still working a ton of hours each week?

My hours are definitely cut down, at least for the next week or two, and I have weekends free
