I see you got the same bullet lug nuts on your wheels like mine. I always thought they look cool and everybody who see's them likes them. There is a guy who shaves the tires out here with some old custom machine that lays on the ground and he jacks up the vehicle for the tire to spin. I bought my tires like this but I'm gonna have them shaved wider. Here are some older pics of my truck with the new shoes.

When I use to work on the used car lot , there was a couple of guys that would pinstripe the cars on the lot for us , but also did the buffing of the sidewalls for the white wall effect .. I would check with some of the tire shops , used car lots , someone has to know someone .. Good Luck !!!!

Anyone try those porta-wall white wall insert things?!

[losthope]

i tried a set of porta-walls awhile back on my 54 ford had three tire shops put them on but all three tire shops couldnt get them to seal right, and two shops wouldnt mess with them, so i didnt have any luck with them, might have to find a old timer who nows how to get them to work.....

Anyone know of a shop in the Reno/Sparks Nv area that does a good job with shaving and buffing tires like this?

[SNTOS63]

Has anyone on here ever smoothed out their black wall tires for that old school hotrod smooth black tire look?? Thinking about trying it out.. If so, any pics?

I did that to my ole fleetline tires there cokers, but they were stored for a while and had some over spray on them and I saw this on you-tube and took a small amount off made them look new again.
