When I had my camper specials done it only took a few days down at Source One or whatever it is, but it ended up being like 160 bucks, and that was with a discount. FWIW.
Mike, when are we putting my wheels/tires together?
Yeah that's waaayy more than I wanna spend too. I'll just spray paint them.

"I had gone down to get my wheels sandblasted, and at first I thought somebody was barbequin'. Then I said 'oh lord jesus it's a burnout'".

I only suggested the ones I did because they remind me of the Spicer hubs on a truck in Seward. Kind of reminiscent of those IMO.
As far as the hubs sticking out far enough- with any luck, they will end up close to flush if you find the right style of short dually front caps. Ideally anyway.

Is that a lockout spacer??
I think the black ones I posted would be sweeeet.

After you get em spray bombed MUHFOCKA. Did you get the red Orings and a set of sacrificial tapered lug nuts?

IDK what it is. That's a pic from the internet but the lockout is the same as whats on the D44 on the truck in Seward. Not sure if its some weird early external style or what.
The lines of the black ones don't match the vintage of a 73-80 IMO. They went with nick's 89 grill great though. The newer ones with the radii like I posted would look right at home. On a 67-72 anyway lol.
I called TWF and they said they use the black ones and strech the fak out of them and superglue them down
, so I'll try that. I have a few random lug nuts we could use probably. Got new o-rings for the valve stems, just need to get some balance beads and I'll have everything.

I'm new to the black ones. The red ones that came with my wheels didn't need to be stretched, and I still had to take one of the wheels apart three times to get it to seal properly. And that was using rubber cement to hold them in place.
I make no promises in regard to the black-uns. We'll both be treading into new territory on that.

He said wrap them around the PVC insert the night before and they should be good with them glued in. We will see. Also said I could step on them and strech them to my chest 
Off topic. How the hell do you delete a poll?

That actually sounds like a pretty legit idea.
That depends on what day of the week you go to the strip club- the Saturday night line-up is usually pretty talented, and can probably make poles of many sizes disappear.

You can't. It just stays up there. You might could PM a moderator and they could do it. Also you can only have one poll per thread.
Ready for paint. You can actually read all the warning crap now haha.
