It's all looking good I'd be interested in the hood and dual wheels and motor and tranny well pretty much I'd pay up to 200 for all of it!!! and I'm sure others would pay upwards of 400

well i cleaned my gun today and then primed the hood and seat plus some other things. then ran out of primer and last night i had ordered more.

it's amazing all the in perfections you see when you prime the hood.

going to weld some more tomarrow.

Too bad they cut up the back of that hood to put a larger engine in there!  Lots of good parts left.  :text-coolphotos:

well everything is either primed or ready to be primed tommorow then to paint.

 

what is the best paint stripper for the wheels, it just takes to long to wire wheel it clean.

how do i get the valve core out since the saltinside has like stuck it in there?

Just rip the stem off. You're going to want to make sure the inside of the rim is in good shape, and chances are the tires aren't good anyway.

WHX??

Tire looks good as far as I can see scrub them down real good with blech white or armor all tire cleaner and see how they look. If that don't do it some tire paint.

6-12 tubes are common on :techie-ebay:or TSC .....if you can find the heavier duty ones are better  and make sure you use the little valve stem protector thingys.

pew the second tire was married to the rim

we ended up geting 2 pipe clamps and 2 boards on each side and sweezing it and it broke the bead.

then of course we somehow go the rim jamped in there and we cut the tube out and my dad came over and help us.

the calsium coride is nasty so we loaded them up on the cart and washed them off . now to clean the tires with armourall or bleach.

:woohoo:

if your thinking about the tire paint. Check the Armourall, if it has silicone in it you will not be able to use the tire paint for a while. Or you will have to wash the tires down with a solvent to get rid of the silicone.

Read over the "RJ -58 Project" thread that @Johndeereelfman has going, he has a lot of good information in there and is doing it right.

:text-yeahthat:....make sure to read it to the end to hopefully not repeat his mistake !(I was heartbroken for him lol)  your both doing a fantastic job. I will add that if you color coat and clear coat aren't the same brand I would make a test piece to be sure they are compatible.
