I like Cragar style wheels, but I feel like they belong on stuff from the 50s, 60s, maybe up to 72, anything newer they look out of place.

Chevy's in the wild

I do too, I have them on my 67 firebird
Wish I had gotten a picture of the one I saw but it was a black OBS with black soft top. Gold chrome big ass wheels. Didn't care for those but the rest of the execution was nice (for what I saw driving past the trailer it was on) As nice as it looked, figured I could find a picture but nope. I would rock one of these as a daily. (Oh, the one I saw was a legit 2 door)

This one caught my eye at a recent car show.
That's a beautiful awesome car, would love to have it. The paint job looks killer and I've always liked the 66-67 Nova.
I'd just replace the pie cut intake tube. Real bends with minimal welds function and look better. The only time pie cuts make sense is if you need to make the bend a tighter radius than you can buy, and that is definitely not it.

Wish I had kept my 66 Chevy II. Can't keep them all.
Agreed, I see this type of installation and see welding skills on display, but totally unnecessary for the application.
Yeah when I look at that I see multiple welds that need to be purge TIG welded and still won't be as smooth on the ID as a mandrel bent pipe, and all just for looks. It takes more time, more welding, more money, for less function and a cluttered look. I don't see the appeal.
One 90 degree bend would of been enough to cut up and make that with a lot less pieces. With two bends the whole thing could be 4 pieces, one 90 maybe 6 pieces, instead it has to be approaching 20 pieces. They did on purpose for looks, it just doesn't look good IMO. And a car of that caliber it wasn't the cost of a mandrel bent piece holding them back, even if they welded it themselves.
I’m proud and amused.
My oldest asked my wife to borrow her phone so she could get a picture of “the old Chevy truck” for me.
