Interesting picture for a number of reasons :D

"Go-kart" on the left has hyper-coated replica Saleens on it. Saleen on
the right has real chrome Saleen rims... It's the only picture I can find that
has both sets of wheels on a 'vehicle' at the same time.

On occasion, I've had to put one of the replica wheels on the Saleen at the same
time as the rest are the chromes. You have to be right on top of the car and look
pretty close to notice the difference.
 
Cool Do you have any more pics of yours?

Actually found 1 picture of the Daytona with the Saleen Replica wheels on it from an auto-x 2 years ago.
It wasn't painted yet and the motor at the time needed rings and had a wiped intake lobe... Still ran
a 12.97 at 98MPH on the 1320.

Auto-x is always interesting with drag radials :D

This is what the beast looks like now. Motor is a 10:1 compression 331, Lunati cam, Speed Demon 650.
Only drove it once after we rebuilt it as a 331 and it's a complete animal :D Then I tore the top of the motor off
and replaced the Demon with 4 Weber 48IDF's. Haven't had a chance to drive it yet... auto-x starts in a few weeks :D

Not bad considering I did all the body work and MAACO sprayed the paint...
