dannyi Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Hi guys....need a little help, not sure what this wheel is. Looks like a Cragar 500 Eliminator or maybe a Shelby 500 wheel. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks guys..
timc Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Looks like Casey's work.I have a set of the larger diameter wheels that I goy from him.bigtim
rmvw guy Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I want a set! They look like Indy 500 Mags from back in the '60s. They would have been spun aluminum with black painted in the spokes. Not sure but, that's the way it looks from here.
vintagestang Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 If it's not Casey's It could be from the '68 Mustang or '69 Shelby GT-500.
Casey Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 If it's not Casey's It's not, and Danny makes some very nice stuff, so let's give him some credit for his own work. I think it looks a lot like a Foresight Ventures Indy 500 wheel: http://www.akhwheels...Wheel.php?pk=87 I want to say Parnelli Jones and/or Mickey Thompson marketed this very similar wheel, but not totally sure:
dannyi Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 ..thanks guys, I appreciate the info. Found this in a long forgotten parts box. There was only one so I de-chromed it and made a copy. Thought it would make a nice addition to my product line but wasn't sure what wheel it was and only found two pics that came close. The Cragar Eliminator and the Shelby 500. ..again, thanks for the info fella's!
Len Woodruff Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Danny those are from the early issue of the Monogram Shelby GT350. I think they were made by Radir (Radar?) and were used on Bill Bagshaws 68 Hemi Dart.
Monty Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 It's not, and Ian makes some very nice stuff, so let's give him some credit for his own work. Casey, I'm familiar with the high quality of work that you, Daniel & Crazyjim do, but I don't think I've seen any of Ian's stuff. Do you have a website for him?
Casey Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Casey, I'm familiar with the high quality of work that you, Daniel & Crazyjim do, but I don't think I've seen any of Ian's stuff. Do you have a website for him? I always get Ian from MI confused with Danny for some reason. Don't bother looking to hard for Ian's stuff.
dannyi Posted July 15, 2012 Author Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks Len, after a little more research it looks like the Monogram Shelby GT350. Thanks Casey and Monty for the kudo's, being included with you and Crazyjim is a huge compliment!
dannyi Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 I gotta admit Steve, except for the center cap, the upper right one is dead on. I figure this wheel is at least 35 maybe 40 years old. So it's a good possibility that's exactly what it is. Found it in a parts box inside another box that I've had since I was a young punk kid.....
