Jesus wheels

Post by Blacky »

...... well , they DID have a birthday today , and they HAVE been reborn :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin: :ebiggrin:

got given a couple of 13" Rockets a while ago, and I thought they would be a good thing for the front of the sedan. Got bored this arvo so I thought I would clean them up
Heres what I started with - not too horrible seeing as they are datestamped 1970

Image

Got some 0000 steel wool and a heap of Purple Polish onto them -

Image

bit of black paint and some shiny new valve stems and they are ready to whack some tyres on when I can borrow my mates tyre machine 8) 8)

Image

Total cost = about $65 , $60 for the centre caps and a few bucks for the valve stems - you cant complain about that !!!
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.
