They look a fine set of wheels! Good luck with the decoration Wes...... :thumbup: David D |

I went out early this morning and got everything ready to paint. I wiped the wheels down one last time in preparation for paint. I then started carefully mixing things:o) I'm learning to paint and have been doing things on the cheep here lately. The paint and thinner are from a local farm supply store. It ran me $30 for a quart of paint and a gallon of thinner. I'm using a harbor freight paint gun that runs about $14. I think it does a fine job. All ready to go\o/ I mixed it a little too thin. But it went on pretty good. I'll make the second coat a little thicker. Here is the first coat nearly dry. I'll wet sand them and spray another coat tomorrow. I'm using http://www.vansicklepaint.com/index.htmltractor paint on these rims and the truck. It is pretty cheep and looks like it will work pretty good for an old truck. I'll wear my mask next time:o) ~Wes~ |

Hit a snag today. We were 20 miles out of town and the truck hesitated, backfired, then died:o( A good friend came and got me. I suspect the ignition system. No spark:o( ~Wes~ |

You might pop the distributor cap off and see if the distributor is turning. A broken timing chain can cause that problem and they do break sometimes due nto hi8gh milage. Joe |

Thanks! That was the first thing I checked out. It spins when I crank the engine. Thank goodness!!! I think it's the module. I'll do a little more testing. ~Wes~ |
