AlexR 2,118 #205 Posted Saturday at 06:41 PM While we are off topic, we took the kids to a old town days event near us today. Kids got to ride ponies, have a pony wagon ride, mini train ride, tug of war with draft horses. And of course all the steam tractors, hit and miss engines, and tractors. Oil tractors, gas and diesel ones too. They had some Wheelhorse's there as well. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexR 2,118 #208 Posted 22 hours ago Hood is way better after sanding that second coat of primer Getting the front wheels cleaned up and painted. It's just the primer currently also got pair of deestone tri ribs. What do you guys think of this for bracing the fender pan? It will lift the pan up about 3/16 of a inch but the pivot and latch points shouldn't be effected. One last question what color should I paint the wheel weights? I'm thinking of 3 options one is the same color as the rims which will be cottage white. Second is red, and third is black. I'm leaning towards red but not fully decided yet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Body matching red would look sharp. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, my only reason for considering another color is the weights hide so much of the rim there isn't much to contrast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlexR 2,118 #213 Posted 21 hours ago 20 minutes ago, ebinmaine said: What type weights? Pics? Front weights Rears IH 25 pounds weights, I realize I can mount these on the inside of the rim but I don't think it would look right to have front weights and visibly not look like there are rear ones. Also planning on fluid filling the rears as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 73,342 #214 Posted 20 hours ago IMHO: With the rear weights having a big open hole the red or black would be great. The fronts are more solid but the outer ring of the wheel would still show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexR 2,118 #215 Posted 40 minutes ago (edited) Getting some paint on. 3 coats of paint and 2 of clear. And got my rear tires BKT TR315 in 23x10.5-12 Couldn't wait to compare it to the Deestones will have to compare again when it's on a wheel and inflated. Interestingly the bars are actually a little narrower on the BKT's Edited 19 minutes ago by AlexR 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
