FINALLY GOT 'EM !! After literally years of searching for some 15" slotted aluminums for my "cloning it like my 1st one" (see my sig pic of the black and white charger, taken in 72), I finally scored a set of polished 15x7 Western Wheels.
I owe ANOTHER huge thanks to our Co-Co Admin, the wondermous Dyno-by Jiminy-Dave, who PM'd me the Craigslist link for a fellow way down in Fullerton, Orange County here in CA.
I "made a meet" with him near Magic Mountain, about 70 miles south over the Grapevine, an approximate equidistant point for both of us, except he had to drive through LA traffic all the way, and I didn't.
Cost me $400.00, and even the Futura 225-70-15 tires are in good shape, which is fortunate because I was just getting ready to buy a set for my 89 Caprice that I keep my Mother-In-Law happy with.
I am only going to use two of the wheels (front) and keep two in reserve, as I bought a couple of 15x10 aluminum slotteds from our esteemed Website Supporter Brock, that I'm going to have polished out for the rears.
For actual pics (and replies, so as not to tie up this thread), see my upcoming thread in the Wheels section. One step closer to fruition, Jer.

My grandson got a hundred bucks for my old 2:92 single leg chunk that I gave him. The buyer was happy, Grandson was happy, and after he took Grandpa to a steak and eggs breakfast, Grandpa was very happy. Everybody's a Winner, yep-sir! A true fairy tale ending.

While vacationing in Oregon last week, stopped in at Accurate Exhaust and picked up complete system for my 73 SE. Very nice looking and heavy material. Great bunch of staff, great service too

Great bunch of staff, great service too Interested in how it all fits....was this a complete system including mufflers, and are the connections set up for headers or manifolds? does it have a crossover in it? and do you mind if I ask the cost?.......I bought a system from out west and it fit horribly, the tailpipes I was told were for the factory tips but they hang down to low

Steve; This is the complete "B" body system for 400 cubic inch with tips. Set up for manifolds, no crossover. The guys in the shop bench fit the parts to ensure it all went together. I purchased the "Hemi" mufflers, they had others but may have been a bit too loud over stock. Still quite a ways off in getting the pipes installed, I just happened to be in the area and saved the shipping and got them duty free as I was in the USA more than 48 hours. Will post on here if I find any problems when I get to that stage. The pipes are really thick walled material, better than other after market products. As quoted online in their ad, price was $845.00
