New Wheels
Thanks to a lot of help from FirstOwner69 a couple of weeks ago I picked up a nice set of take-off H2 wheels on eBay; I then grabbed a set of GMC 8-lug centers and ordered a set of double-threaded lug nuts that aren't actually here yet.
The wheels arrived pristine, but the caps took a couple of hours with a Sonicare to make them look good. As you may know, 8-lug wheels are hard to find, especially if you're not into "dubs" or "slamming" or whatever and want to stay somewhat period-correct. Here's a pic... it'll be a while before I buy rubber, as I want to see what fits the body, and the body's not painted yet!
