So what do you think? Not bad for free + a little bit of my time. It looks reaaaaaaal good on the truck too.

Looks goods. The truck part is missing though!

Suicide-D · 03-27-2003, 07:04 PM

That's the same wheel I have... except mine is black... good luck with the horn button... save yourself the stress... mount a button elsewhere.

blue_69 · 03-27-2003, 08:11 PM

I have the same on only black and i havent had any problems with my horn button. Its been a while since i put it on though so maybe the install was the stinker.

it's the user not the machine Darryl. Mine works great. I fixed the error in engineering on Grant's part.

my new 72 · 03-27-2003, 10:41 PM

Oh yeah, it started out as a black one. I love my dremel.

Suicide-D · 03-27-2003, 10:43 PM

yeah yeah...I wasn't going to re tool it... the d@mn thing pops out at will anyway.....maybe mine sucks because it actually comes out of the truck every night...and I haven't been all that ginger about tossing it on the bar.

I have one of these wheels that I was going to install on the Jimmy. So what's wrong with the horn button/connection, and what's the fix?

Nova_Cobra64 · 03-28-2003, 01:38 AM

I have the same wheel. The previous owner put it in. It appears as though he got some primer on the spokes when he painted and the original silver paint ended up looking terrible.

So I planned to paint it metallic purple. The existing paint was chipped in places so I figured I would strip it down to metal. The wire wheel on the angle grider wasn't making enough progress for my liking so I ended up using the rotary sander. Worked well, but after I painted it I realized that using the rotary sander was a bad idea because it left patterns and rounded edges. I'm not much for spending time on stuff like this, so I ordered a chrome challenger from work like I wanted to from the beginning.

A friend wants to buy it, but I guess I will have to see. I think It might go good with all the other vehicle parts in my room.

Maybe pics to follow(depends how bored I get).
