67/68/69 cuda dilemma
Got one sandblasted at lunch break, 3 more to go. 15x7 fifth ave steelies. Picked up some new 225/60R15s to put on these. I plan on spraying some of that light grey epoxy primer on these. Then rattle can gloss black rustoleum on the sides and backs. I will use an actual automotive gloss black on the front side. Cant decide weather or not to weld up the small holes next to the lug nut holes and grind flat, or leave em there.
It seems like I am getting ahead of myself since this car needs everything else, but not really. I am converting to BBP, and need 4 rims w tires to roll it around. Problem was finding good used 15" tires in my area. The ranchers put em on their old junk flatbed trailers and run em out the rest of the way.
So I found these off brand tires new at an online tire place called www.tireseasy.com for $57 each with free shipping about 2 weeks ago $228 total. Nice aggressive tread, 60,000 mile wear warranty. I got a friend who is the local high school auto shop teacher. Gonna bring him the rims and tires to get mounted and balanced after I paint em up. Told him shorty valve stems, and wheel weights on the back please. I will just coat the tires with silicone protectant on both sides, and keep the car on jack stands to keep them from getting flat spots.
Will post more pix as I go.
