Re: prepping parts for paint
OMG yall are NOT going to believe this!!
on the 4th, i prepped those rims, got them all primed and painted with 2 coats of metallic silver.
shopped around for tires, and finally settled on some Futura's from pep boys. the buy3-get one deal buried the hook for me.
anyway, i spent most of a dead day at work excited to be changing to my new rims this evening, espcially since my left front just spontaneously blew while sitting int he garage a few days ago. after all the labor to buff the rust and apply the color on those rims, i was definatly ready for the reward of re-shoeing my girl. most of the dead day that i just mentioned, i spend calculating tire measurements based on the numbers im wearing now, and what i would like to get (right now i ahve mis-matched sized). i settled in on some 275/60R15.
i arrive to pepboys.. and the 275/60R15s with the white letters.. the computer says they have 4, but reality is that they have zero! the manager even told me he could have them here in the moring if i wanted to wait... but after much him-hawing back and forth over hwat size i would get instead, i finally decided to get 255/60R15s. it wasnt what i really really wanted... but i wasnt planning on going home without anything to put on my truck. they bring em, and mount em, and im on my way.
when i get home and unload them.... "sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"
i called the manager up.. "uh, about those 275s that you could have for me in the morning??" hehe, i guess ill have what i really went there for in the first place!
