What an incredible build. It's fun reading all the comments and seeing other builders adding comments and some big spenders joining in. Early predictions are for a million plus

Just noticed the “classic” two eared knock off spinners. Cool
Some say the original ( pilot line)1963 corvette quick take off wheels ( knock off’s) had 2 eared spinners. Due to leaks they never made it onto production cars ( possibly??)
Saw a supposedly original set advertised a few years ago for $50k .
Must admit I prefer the three eared version. The 2 eared seem plain in comparison

Always loved “spinners” and the mid year corvettes three eared ones were the best looking of them all.
Unfortunately US safety legislation outlawed them in 1966, so for the 1967 sting Ray Chevrolet designed what many consider the most beautiful corvette wheel ever. The Bolt on, with its starburst center cap.
A revised version was standard on the 1982 collector edition.
