Yeah, like a '64 convertible?

(wouldn't it look cool with Halibrands and a little racing stripe down

They have been talking about doing just that for 20 years. Dave T Bow
was close a few years back, but the deal fell through. Back than he was
shooting for $2000 a set retail in aluminum not the factory magnesium.

I'm not the first to do it, nor am I the only bidder after the
wheels. They would still have to be restored, and that won't be cheap.

Yes, nate like the Bonneville Daytona convertible.

I have a set on the R4 Avanti. If memory serves me correctly they are 6 and 1/2
inches wide.
