Started painting the wheels today. Happy with the result although not sure with the one I've put back on the truck yet. Will post a pic when I yet them all done.
A white wall will make all the difference I think.
Hard to paint chrome wheels but lots of scuffing with a wire wheel, etch primer, surfacer primer x 3 coats and a top coat x 3.
Only a temp tidy up until I get new rims and white walls.
Found a slight coolant leak and it doesn't look like its from the radiator hoses. Explains why my coolant level has been dropping over time.
It maybe coming from the water pump but I'm not sure. I know little about these motors (or any for that matter) and I'm not sure how to positively I'd that the leak is from the water pump.
Will pull it out tomorrow and have a better look. Not too much to replace but would rather not spend if I don't have to.
Thought I'd replace the hoses anyway but they are a nightmare to find as well. Different ends going from the 50 radiator to the later SBC means different diameter ends.
Anyone have ideas on this?
