Update, Work on Milkshake

Post by WayneXG95 »

Had some work done on Milkshake, Twin Carbs and Wide Whitewalls with wire hubcaps
The whitewalls are BF Goodrich 185/80 R13 with a 3 inch band and the hubcaps are Corvette knockoffs
made by TORCO in the day. I nailed mine off ebay came off an EK in Melbourne... :D

The twins are stromies mated to a Warneford Design Manifold that sits on the hotbox so I don't need extractor’s.

Awesome with the Torco wires and whitewalls :thumbsup:

Same tyres that plastic has got (I'm guessing it's a typo and you have the BF 185/80/R13 'Silvertown' whitewalls).

Can you please let me know the next time and place Milkshake will be parked unattended teeheehee :P

Looks very nice, though I'm with Pete on the hubcaps. :think: . As long as you like them, that's all that matters

I wanted to get some proper whitewalls for mine, but can't justify the cost

Yep I like it but it has to be lowered. Now have you got a red motor version of that manifold. Mine cracked on the eh.
